vintage Chicago Electric CMUF utility motor 1930s/40s tested 2.75A 105-115VAC

Description: cool old motor - I did some reasearch on Chicago Electric Mfg Co - a fun read is here https://www.madeinchicagomuseum.com/single-post/chicago-electric-mfg-co/ based on that museum article the last possible date for this motor would be 1953, but I am certain it's much older. I don't remember how I got it, I've had it for a few decades now, but I do know I replaced the power cord, the original was no doubt bare and unsafe. The itallics below is quoted from the museum article - I find it intesting After World War II—during which Chicago Electric got by making fuses and electrical parts for the military—Cord decided to jump back into the game with his prized Windy City property. Seeing a new golden age ahead in electric appliances during peacetime, he bought out all the shares from a now elderly Edward Preston in 1945, becoming the majority owner of Chicago Electric. Harold Ames—an old buddy from Cord’s early automobile days—was installed as company president.For the next eight years, the HandyHot and HandyBreeze brands bounced back, and Cord—perhaps feeling redeemed—called it a day. He sold Chicago Electric MFG to the Hartford based Silex Corp., which kept the company as a subsidiary through 1956, with some manufacturing remaining in Chicago. In a typical big-fish-eats-small-fish chain reaction, Silex then merged with Philadelphia’s Proctor & Schwartz Electric Company in the 1960s to form Proctor-Silex, which, in turn, joined with the Hamilton Beach Co. under the banner of NACCO Industries in 1990. Basically, there is one company that makes small kitchen appliances now.Note to me: bottom drawer, left hand small file cabinetI normally ship within 24 hours of your order, but the post office does not always initiate tracking when I put the packages in the drop off box.
