Here's a video I made a while back of my small collection of Voltamp electric motors.

The one who dies with the most toys, wins!

Thanks for sharing your motors. I have been collecting early toy motors for years. The first motor in you video is very early, and very nice!

Love the motors, and even though the music was quite nice ....... Greensleeves even ........  I'd prefer to have heard the motors better!

Enjoyed the video and it helped me ID a DC motor I just purchased...mine is virtually identical to the smallest of the three you show (3rd example).  Mine is missing the ID plate yours has on the top, hence I had no idea who made it.

cheers,
