Antique WAGNER ELECTRIC MOTOR AC 110 Volts Repulsion Induction 100 Yrs Old :
$224.99


Item:  Antique Motor

UPDATE 4/24:  Thanks to kindness of strangers I\'ve been informed by someone who knows about these.  Was able to tell me it is probably 1/2 H.P. AC Motor of the Repulsion/Induction Type and most likely 110 volts. 

Update 4/26: I was told the following: The mechanism seen thru the front (pulley end) is a centrifugal device that operates a shorting ring that connects all the commutator segments together when it gets close to full speed turning it into an induction motor.

Description:  For Sale is an Antique WAGNER Electric Motor that I found in the Carriage House of a old home.  The Carriage House had been converted to a workshop and there it sat.   You should assume I know basically absolutely nothing about these motors.  I\'m not too bad with a standard combustion engine/motor but I know basically nothing about electric.  What I do know is what is on the Brass Wagner Placard which is basically nothing but Pre-1920 Patent Dates.  So, it most likely dates 1913–1918. There is no H.P. rating nor voltage like I see on other Electric Motors Placards. I\'ve searched everywhere online and have not found any other Wagner\'s that appear to be as old as this one especially with this kind of \"Screened\" housing.   All of the other ones have closed housings/cases.   On the base of one of the legs it is embossed \"1955\" but I\'m assuming that is NOT the year it was made.   Just the cloth covered wiring alone convinces me it is much older than 1955.   I am sure my photos will best further describe this item. 

Dimensions:  15\"Long x 10\" Wide x 9.5\" Tall and WEIGHS 80 POUNDS!!!

Condition:   On a scale of 1 - 10 (Ten being New in Package Only), I can confidently grade this item\'s condition to be a solid ???.   It is completely impossible for me to grade such a item.  I have not tested this obviously because of the poor condition of the wiring plus I have no idea how to anyways.  The Screened Housing is in really awesome condition except for one area on the underside with a small dent and opening (See Photo).  Fortunately its hidden nicely underneath.  All moving parts work problem free and it is surely NOT locked up at all.  You can turn the shaft by hand and it rotates internally.  Generally it is not too dirty especially for being out in the open for decades.  You can\'t wear white gloves and handle it, but it is somewhat clean.  Mainly you\'ll find old dried greasy areas in the crevices.  I try to leave antiques as I find them or clean them just a little bit so you don\'t get filthy handling them.  This one I just wiped down quickly.   So, if you want it cleaner it surely will clean up further.   I honestly have no idea if it could ever run again.  Maybe yes, maybe no.   I am selling this for its collectibility because of its age.  If this engine will run again, there is no doubt that it will need to be disassembled and rebuilt. But.....I have a feeling that is what many of you would want to do anyways. That’s the fun part!! My photos are an accurate depiction of this item\'s TRUE Condition.
