So properly used it can likely tell if say a Ruth ball was signed with 30's ink or 2000's ink. If you had a good library of ink formulations and the machine generates enough detail you could probably tell the brand. (And maybe more)

I don't think the machine can do that.
If it could the forgery problem in the hobby would be cut in half in a month.
There are a couple of labs in the country that can date ink. However, that requires removal of a tiny portion of ink from the questioned item and costs thousands of dollars.
