New Old Stock Dunlap Electric Motor

[mwscale]

My first post. Thought some of you might be interested. I am need a couple of Craftsman motors for drill press projects. But I couldn't pass this one up.

Popped up on Marketplace late Saturday night. It looked clean and had no rust on the shafts. Messaged, "I'll take it. Can I pick it up in the morning." Picked it up the next morning and was surprised to find that is was brand new. Still in the original box that Sears shipped it to his Great Grandpa. Costs $0.65 to ship it back in 1950. They were cleaning out the house to be remodeled, and found it. Still has the original manual in the box.

Wow!

Very interesting.
The date code on the motor badge is J5 50, i.e., the 5th week of September, 1950.
The date on the box must be the packing date.
There's no date on the paperwork.

Here it is in the 1950 catalog. Catalog number 1975 as stated on the carton.
