Vintage Cast Iron Dynamo Electric Motor 2-4 Volt

Description: This auction is for a vintage cast iron toy or model electric motor or dynamo. There are no maker's marks anywhere on it. There is a little metal plate riveted to the top of the motor that says, "2-4 Volt". There are two electric hookups on one of the support legs, and then two on the front of the motor. There are two oil cups, one each on the front and back of the motor, on top of the housing of what looks like the main axle. As noted above in condition, I have never run this motor so I cannot say if it works or not, nor do I know if it is missing any parts. It measures 3" across the underside of the piece, across the width of the two support legs. From the tip of the axle sticking out of the flywheel to the tip of the axle sticking out underneath the oil cup on the front it is just under 4" wide. You'll notice in the photo's above that I used the flash to try and show the condition of the insides of the motor. In the last picture I show this piece with some composition toy soldier engineers - the tallest one is about 3" tall. The engineers are not included in this auction, they are shown for size comparison only. Please see my other auctions and my eBay store for vintage German and other metal animals, figural desk items by Heyde and other makers, vintage toy soldiers, steam engines and accessories, tin and windup toys, and vintage and out of print books on old toys. Taxes: eBay now automatically adds sales tax to your cost for items going to states that require it. Payment: I accept all the payment methods that eBay offers. Payment is due within four days from the end of the auction. If your payment is not received within this time period the eBay automated sales tool takes over and starts hounding you. Shipping: My auctions end on Saturday. If you pay by 5:00 E.S.T. on Sunday I'll have them in the mail on Monday. Payments made later in the week or purchases made from my store are shipped as soon as I can get to the Post Office, but that can take several days. I combine shipping on all purchases made and paid for at the same time (unless you're combining a book and toys as books use inexpensive media mail in the U.S. while toys can't). I use First Class (up to 16 oz) and Priority mail. Books ship media mail. I only charge actual postage - no added fees. I use lots of bubble wrap, peanuts, and good boxes. In a group of multiple pieces each item is wrapped individually. Original boxes or other original paper item go into a plastic bag in case you get delivery on a rainy day. International Shipping: I gladly ship international. Please note that there can be lengthy delays at Customs. Per eBay rules, import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges -- these charges are the buyer's responsibility. Return Policy: Returns are accepted. I use a loupe to examine the toys while I'm listing them and I try and mention the significant condition issues I see. I value my eBay reputation and I'm not knowingly going to put out false or misleading info on a toy. I leave feedback so please do the same. If there is any problem with the item contact me first before leaving feedback, and we’ll work it out.
