This 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.
