Hi Libby;
The serial number on that W&W #3 should date it to 1870. My #3 in a half case treadle is also an 1870 model, though a slightly lower number at 487,972.
As to the handwheel for the 401G I see no reason that brass would not work. Of course a chunk of brass that size will be considerably more expensive than will steel.
