I don't have a lot of history on this motor. I purchased it from a couple out in the country north of Buffalo, NY. They had gotten the motor and a shop full of vintage machinery from an older gentleman that had been a neighbor and is now deceased. I paid $20.00 for the motor and it was the last shop item that they had. I believe that the original paint for the motor was black. Information given on the manufacturers data tag is interesting, from photo #1; HP is not given, but I and the p.o. believe it to be 1/4, Volts 8-9, KW .144, Amp 16, RPM 1200, Direct Current, (what I think is the serial $?) #35511, Winding COMPOUND. The Pat. info in small print is June 27 & Sept 26, 1899 and Oct 6, 1903. The arbor measures 1 1/4" and the steel pulley is 3 1/2". There are two brass tags on the top of the motor's case, from photo #2 the top tag reads....Ordinary Carbon Brushes Cannot Be Used For This Machine. When Ordering New Brushes Specify Type "C" And Giver Serial Number Of Machine. The lower tag reads.......Connections Are Made For Rotation As Shown By Arrow. There is a small arrow pointing to the left, below the print. The motor weighs quite a bit, that dimension will be added. The motor does turn, but I do not know if it will work, I have not tested it electrically.
