I seem to keep picking up early motors, most of them toy motors, a few that are a little larger. I have quite a fascination for them, and wondered just how many other people collect these, as well. Also, early generators, mostly model and toy ones. I'm always interested in seeing ones that I don't have. This is part one, as the last post may or may not have all of the flame lickers I tried to post. I'll do this in two parts [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
Very nice group of definitely older members of the genre. Any chance at a better view of the hand cranked one hiding in the darkness behind the Sipp?
I don't collect them, but they do turn up. The first one drives an old watchmaker's lathe that I found last week, the second is a H&K toy motor that was a surprise found in a box with a blue Mamod steam wagon, and the third powers my 1930's model of HMS Lance, the destroyer that fired England's first shot in WW1.

Very NICE ... thanks for accommodating me with that Doug ... I even like the "coffee grinding" sound of it.
Nice collection Doug. Picked up a H-K at an auction for $60.00 took it home hooked it to a lantern battery and i
Sorry, it ran perfect. Love it.
A picture of my small collection. Started out just looking for the Weeden Motors. But, I bought a few others along the way.
I see one, second from the right in the front row, called an Ajax, I believe. I once had one like that called a "Li'l Hustler." Are they the same?
Here is an early classroom demonstrator motor/generator. It could be wired to work as either. I found it at Cabin Fever a few years ago. My son saw it and was so intrigued with it that I sent it home with him. I realized I didn't have a pictures of it, so he sent me a few. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
That demonstrator is very nice indeed.
You know, it's amazing what you can find lying around in schools. I once found a huge old power hacksaw under the stage of a school auditorium. It had been parked there by the shop teacher, who said it wouldn't cut properly. I dragged it home, and it cut just fine once I turned the blade around. 😋
Hi Doug. Nice collection. In third picture, the one in the center is an Auto Sparker used on IHC gas engines. I have several IHC engines it would work on. Would you consider selling it?

Sorry I have a full size hit miss engine as well.
