Sonce ancient times there have been stories about people sleeping for long periods and waking in the future, or being transported to another realm where time travels fast so that when they return to the earthly realm they find themselves in the distant future.

The specific concept of a person designing a vehicle that can be driven to the past or future seems to have emerged in the late 19th century. The first such story might be Gaspar’s The Time Ship (El anacronópete).

The Time Ship: A Chrononautical Journey
Novel by Enrique Gaspar
This was completed in 1881 but not published until 1887.
It is a somewhat episodic story with a series of brief adventures i the past. One interesting aspect is that the craft requires a fluid to stop the occupants from getting younger as they go back in time: some of the people aboard were unprotected by the fluid and de-aged out of existence. A distracting aspect is that the main character wants to marry his niece… but she wants to marry her cousin. Different times, I guess.

Edward Page Mitchell wrote a short story called A Clock That Went Backward in 1881. It’s a fairly simple story about a clock that sends some boys back a couple of hundred years. Mitchell’s work was largely overlooked in his lifetime before being rediscovered in the 1970s.

The Chronic Argonauts (1888) was HG Wells’s first story about a time machine: his later more famous work The Time Machine (1895) was more substantial and contained a more interesting plot.

Honourable mention to L’historiscope by Eugène Mouton (1883) which involved a viewing device for seeing into the past by reconstructing the wavefronts of light through space: it’s not really travel but it’s an interesting idea

How can a time travel vehicle be assigned to a specific era?

I guess it is the time it was made. but seeing as it is all fantasy I guess you can affix any time, or none, to the story.

Primer

Before time travel vehicles, there are plenty of stories which played with time.

Around the World in 80 Days manages to time travel back one day without breaking the laws of physics.
The Strange Case of Benjamin Button where he ages backwards.
The Picture of Dorian Gray where he doesn’t age.

And the Old Testament Genesis where Methuselah lived for 969 years.
And Joshua where the Sun stood still, and the Moon stopped.

The first known use of the word “vehicle” was in 1612 … actually no it wasn’t, that was the word “vehicle” used in a completely different sense – in the sense of a syrup containing a medicine.

See also the three Greek Gods of time. https://medium.com/minute-mythology/the-three-greek-gods-of-time-60f236ae16e9
Chronos represented empirical linear time, such as age.
Aion represented eternal time and the cycle of seasons.
Kairos was the god of opportunistic time – so should be considered the god of time travel. ;-)

Aion and Kairos must be right peeved that these days Chronos is treated as though he was the only god of time.
