Slow day but at least 1 neat find

[DrJamesDaddy]

It's been rather slim pickings for me the last couple weeks but at least I did find something rather neat. 1905 GE electric motor. 1/6th HP. Haven't been brave enough to plug it in yet, but it does turn by hand rather well. Indeed the oldest thing I've found so far. Anyone know about old motors like this by chance?

I have found some really old elec motors, and found if they spin freely, they will normally run. You might have to give them a little spin, by hand, but be careful what you touch.
