From the "Museum Collection of Steve Cunningham", we are pleased to present this beautiful 1890's keystone electric dc bipolar motor.  Original brass tag from the AFCA Museum is still present as seen in the photos, this is #679 for AFCA Museum Historical reference.  This beautiful utility motor could have been used for a variety of applications. Keystone electric works of Erie P.A. was underestimated in the 1890's by their competitors. Keystone was supplying motors for many applications in major markets where their competition would call home.  This is a rare survivor from this Pennsylvania company. The hand painted gold leaf graphics on this motor are beautiful. Coils appear to have been insulated since original production. The 2 brush wires appear to be more recent replacements. It runs on 3 to 5 volts DC.  Beautiful motor to add to a motor collection or stand-alone decorative item.
