VINTAGE 1920’s DOMESTIC ELECTRIC COMPANY MOTOR 1/5 HP 1750 RPM TYPE 1 RUNS ORIGINAL

Appears to be in good condition overall.  Could use a good cleaning. 

Has newer style cord/plug. Rest appears to original.

Does run when plugged into wall outlet (I only ran it less than a minute).

Shaft Diameter = 1/2"

Shaft Height = 3 3/16" 

Base Overall Size = 4" x 6"

Plate has the following information:

1/5 HP, 110 Volts, 60 cycles, 1750 RPM, 4,4 Amps, Serial Number 45024, IS No. 10074

Has patent dates from 1911 and 1919. I found the following information on the internet:

“The Domestic Electric Co. made Electric Motors in the 1920’s. They were located at 7223 St. Clair Ave., N. E., Cleveland, Ohio.

    This firm manufactured motors, primarily in fractional horsepower sizes. They were established in 1915 and operated through to 1929, when they were acquired by Black & Decker.”

Based on this, I believe this motor was made sometime in the 1920’s after the 1919 patent date but before the company was taken over by Black & Decker in 1929. Please verify before buying.

An interesting electric motor period collectible.

Please look at the pictures closely to understand and verify what you are buying.
