Crocker-Wheeler
1/4 H.P. Bipolar Electric Motor
This 1/6 H.P. motor appears to be in fine condition noting the minor tears in the
armatures fabric or tape / paper cover. The windings inside appear to be fine.
These smaller versions of these early electric motors are even harder to find than
their larger brothers. The top brass plate on this one has one patent date
from 1891, and it says it is a 3Amp. 10 Volt that runs at 1300 RPM. The serial
# is 12442. The quadruple brushes are carbon in three of the holders and the
fourth seems to have leather in it for some reason. I would imagine that this
would run all day, and have no trouble putting any current product to shame.
It is just about 8 3/4" tall and 12" long. There are not many of these
left and they make for a graphic display and represent an important part in the
history of the development of electrical technology in this countries history.
Rare and recommended!

1/6 H.P. Bipolar Electric Motor
This 1/6 H.P. motor appears to be in fine restored condition, and I
believe it has been carefully repainted. The windings appear
to be fine. These smaller versions of these early electric motors are
harder to find than their larger brothers, and I have a 1/4 H.P. model
available as well if you are looking for that size. The top brass plate on this one has one patent date from 1891, and it says it is a 3 Amp. 10 Volt that runs at 1300 RPM. The quadruple brushes are carbon blocks I would imagine that this motor would run all day, and have no trouble putting any current product to shame. It is just about 8 3/4" tall and 12" long. There are not many of these left and they make for a graphic display and represent an important part in the history of the development of electrical technology in this countries history. Rare and recommended!

Roth 1/2 H.P. Bipolar Electric Motor
This 1/2 H.P. motor appears to be in good condition and is an early and important
example of motor technology when it was still in its infancy. It weighs in
at close to 100 lbs and stands just under 13" tall. The windings appear to
be OK, but I have not tested or attempted to run it. Tough to find this open
frame motors were once pushed out of the way and considered nothing more than scrap
are today an important reminder of just were we were and how far we have come.

are wrapped in green felt It has not been tested.Good . . . . . . $295.00 SOLD
C & C
/ Curtis & Crocker
Bipolar Electric Motor
The condition on this motor is second to none, and it has not been restored
or fiddled with in any way. The patent dates for this motor are from the
1880's putting it as one of the earliest. This company is well known and
were highly respected when they were in business for just a few years in the
1880's. In addition to fans they also made motors for commercial purposes
and I assume that this is what this was for to run a sewing machine or other
similar device. Seldom seen, and never in this condition.
A choice piece of electrical motor history ready for the collection.

The condition on this early patented electric motor is good, and it has not been restored
or fiddled with in any way. The patent dates for this motor are from the
1880's putting it as one of the earliest commercially produced electric
motors in America, Curtis & Crocker is well known for their motors and
were highly respected when they were in business for just a few years in the

another interesting example of a small battery powered open frame bipolar electric

the top but it is certainly a manufactured piece. It stands approx
8" tall and 12" long. It appears it once ran a leather belt. It weighs
approx 15lbs. Nice, and an interesting example of early electrical power.

Small
Open Frame Electric Motor
This small motor appears to be in fine original condition. The
windings appear to be fine. These smaller early electric motors
are hard to find these days and this one just has 10 years of dust on it
from sitting on my shelf. It is really in nice condition. It is
unmarked as to rating or other info, but I believe will run off of small
voltages like 6 or less. I have not run it, but would guarantee that
it would run.
