A vintage 1HP Century Electric Repulsion Start motor that came off of a former pipe organ blower driving a large 1943 furnace blower. Wow it moves the air!
Mid century centrifugal air unit. What a beautiful piece. I'm glad you saved it. With as many antique buildings being demolished or renovated nowadays, it doesn't surprise me how many of these do just end up in the scrap pile. I seen one twice that size in an old 1890's built school being torn down. I wanted to save it, but had nowhere to put it at the time. Beautiful museum piece.
