Interesting find of an antique bi-polar open cast iron frame 1/8 hp 110 volt fan motor. Not positive if its AC or DC. The only listing I can find for this motor is a reference in a Detroit business directory in 1889. Its easily 100 plus years old. Its 11″ long and 7″ high including the base and tips the scale at 20.6 lbs. Spins over easily, the spring loaded brushes have tension and retract easily. The last photo is to show this motor in Scale. This motor is untested-please consider at this age it will need some repair. In looking at one hard rubber cap on one coil has a hairline crack, two wires on the same coil are not attached. Do see my other auctions this week for more antique motors and railroad items. There will be some interesting items this week for sure-Thanks! The item “ANTIQUE ELECTRIC BIPOLAR FAN DETROIT MOTOR CO 1/8 HP 110V CAST IRON OPEN FRAME” is in sale since Thursday, July 21, 2016.
