Russ Huber Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 There would be 4 models to complete the C-W all brass collection. The 3-speed lever switch in either alternating or direct current, or the same for the top of motor speed regulation. Electrical Record does not list the models in different finishes. This may not be gospel. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) Nice example, George. Crocker Wheeler introduced a new line of 9", 12", and 16" models in 1912 electrical trade. However, after doing some digging around, it appears their advertising in 1912 electrical trade is creating a reasonable element of doubt about the construction of their 9" model. Two advertisements so far are supportive of slide lever speed selection drawn brass frame model. No visible trunnion in the image below.

Your model with what should be a 3-speed switch lever in the base was introduced in 12. It could have been manufactured between 1912-18. The variable speed model (speed adjustment knob on top of motor) was introduced in 1915. There is electrical trade evidence to support both models shared the market 1915-18.
