Attached to an early scroll saw (mfg unknown) when acquired at an estate auction.

*Edit: HP listing was updated. The actual HP is unknown because it is not listed on the motor tag, however by looking at a sampling of other motors of this approximate amperage and this age, it looks like it would be no lower than 1/6 HP and no higher than 1/4 HP. Admin.
