Antique Electric Motor Blackstone Manufacturing Co 110v 1/4 HP Washing Machine

Description

I couldn't find another example of an electric motor made by Blackstone Manufacturing Company. I'm no expert in this field. I did some research and still didn't find much information. Blackstone Manufacturing Co made washing machines in the early 1900's. The previous owner called it a washing machine motor. Based on that, I believe this was is an original motor from an early 1900's washing machine. If you know more about this motor, please message me. I always appreciate the chance to learn about antique items. This motor was repurposed to power a leather sewing machine. The last time it was used was sometime in the 1970's. I did not test this motor. It worked when last used and the shaft spins smoothly. This motor may work but I am listing it for parts or repair. The data plate has a crack through the middle (see pictures). Feel free to ask questions or make an offer. Free US shipping. Thanks for looking.
