It was advertised as a Marklin motor, which I believe is accurate, but I would be happy to have someone identify it, perhaps with a date of manufacture, as well. A few drops of oil and a six volt power supply, and it took right off running. My guess would be that this motor is around 100 years old, give or take a decade.

Very well done! #Post#: 33751-------------------------------------------------- Re: Early Marklin Motor By: parallelmotion Date: January 21, 2021, 7:49 am --------------------------------------------------------- Hi Doug, That's a great little motor! It took some searching but found this in a 1912 Marklin catalog reprint. Yours looks like model no. 3286 which was offered in two sizes. Compare the catalog dimensions with yours. Where do you get a neat little power supply like in your video?

Not all sizes and variations are pictured in these catalogs, unfortunately. #Post#: 33758-------------------------------------------------- Re: Early Marklin Motor By: crazydoug Date: January 21, 2021, 9:15 am --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=parallelmotion link=topic=3587.msg33751#msg33751 date=1611236972] Hi Doug, That's a great little motor!

My son had one of these power supplies on his workbench and i had to have one! It has handled running all my early motors including the big K&D motors.
