Two Vintage Little Giant Electric Motors --Need Help with Date of Manufacture
« on: February 12, 2022, 12:57:02 pm »
A recent Ebay purchase to add to my early motor collection.  Although these are probably two of the newest motors in my collection, I would guess 40's, 50's, or 60's??

I appreciate Knapp motors. (Maybe because they are black.)  Ì have one just don't know where. I also have a Knapp lathe and  line shaft.  They arre grey and large.  (I don't know the scale.)

Congrats on the Knapps!

I have a Knapp motor, line shaft and a lathe. (I would post them up but they are in storage.)
Knapp was out of Chicago I believe,  but I don't know the years. I love the scale and quality. Your 
two motors are a great find. (I like the shiny black cases.) Nice pick!     Rob

Sorry, I was wrong about Chicago, it is North Platte Nebraska. The year was 1920.
