Louis Luu Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 My fist one. It is the smallest one I've seen. These are usually big. Had to have it. Too cute. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Luu Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 This thing is small and would be impractical. Most of the ones I've seen are much bigger and do work. This thing is pocket size compare to most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Luu Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 I got another motor without the water part but does have the gear for "hand crank". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is either hydro or hand crank. That is an early C&H hydro model design compared to the model to follow the following year of 98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Luu Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Cool. Will need to get that done. I thought the holes were for hanging. Edited June 4, 2022 by Louis Luu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 You don't need to do anything to it. It is complete as is. It is an EARLY C&H hydro generator. I have never seen one like that early model in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the gear on the rotor but need the large hand turn gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Something else that is very rare is a cast bronze/brass GE kidney gearbox. I can't find one anywhere. Probably one of the rarester things known to man. Fact Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive by the Carlisle and Finch Company all the time it is right next-door to a plating company that I have use for fans in the past also down the street from an antique store.. their building is Art Deco.. so I’m thinking that they moved because art deco is 1939.. not sure where the original location was.. anyway they are still in business..

I’m not sure what you mean the plating company is next door down the street a ways..they electroplate and so everything is ultra shiny,they don’t do walk-ins but I didn’t know this when I walked in and the guy did it for me.. we made friends so I think he will do another if I ask him.. if you look at the December issue of the fan magazine there is a Carlton fan on the cover the chrome in job was done right down the street from the Carlisle Finch Electric company here in Cincinnati.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Years back I was in contact with the C&F CEO. He sent me archived catalogue copies, nothing special really. He was descendent of either Finch or Carlisle, he had the last name of either or. That was 15 years or more ago. They maintained the Nautical lighting aspect of the business.

But this one struck me as being really odd...it is impractical for it to be that small. I knew I had to have it. Tell me more about the motor you posted. I may change my mind and buy myself another gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Rogers Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Some of these small dynamos were battery chargers. Would get your Model T started & to town after you ran it down running your radio! ~Sparky~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
