Yes, the motor tag is the one that's missing. Is your shroud tag on the inside or outside?
There is a tag located on the shroud with some number on it. I can't remember the exact location, maybe at the bottom of the shroud judging from the picture I have, but on mine I could make out some electrical info:
Mine's a Federal Enterprises Model 5 and the motor looks different from the OP's. Mine's round on the bottom with legs bolted to the bottom of the motor that terminate into a siren mounting ring. I was also told on here it was about made 1950 or earlier. Maybe they had different motors or motor housing styles in production?Chicagosiren-hunters wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 4:31 pmThis looks to be a very early Federal Enterprises era Model 5 (single phase as well), especially as it does not have any holes cut in the stator top to attach coding gear. When you look on the shroud for a motor tag, also look for another large badge that says “Fedelcode” or “Federal”, as if it has one of those, it would predate Enterprises by a few years. There’s not much known about exact age for this period, but I’d say 1948-1949 would be a safe bet.
