Make sure to check out all of my auctions after you look at this one. I’m listing another eclectic selection of mechanical, technological and musical antiques, and I suspect that there will be something to interest just about everyone. Here’s a beautiful and very scarce Porter Standard Motor No. 3, manufactured in the early 1890’s in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Condition is excellent throughout. Beautiful original enamel on the casting, with only minor wear. Multi-colored decorations are still vibrant on all sides. The armature moves freely and the shaft is straight. No damage evident to any of the parts. The blade is in excellent condition, with no damage. It can probably be made to work by someone familiar with its design, but when I apply 6v DC to the binding posts, it does not react. Without the blade mounted, the motor is about 6 high. That’s about it. The item “Outstanding 1891 Porter Standard Motor No. 3 Edison Bipolar Fan & Dynamo Era” is in sale since Sunday, July 31, 2016.
