Looking for info on this 1920's electric motor

I'm restoring an early 1920's Burns and Pollock 'Lamp' phonograph. These are quite rare and have an electric motor for the turntable (although still with an acoustic horn). The motor looks to be in perfect condition and turns freely. I know my way around electrical stuff so I'm being careful and haven't energized it yet as I want to learn all I can and give it a good going over first. I haven't found a maker mark anywhere, but the pressed steel enclosure is stamped 'AC - DC', '110 VOLTS', and '60 CYC OR UNDER'.
As you can see, it's a real work of art - but so far I've been unable to find any information on it.

Any information would be very welcome. Thanks!
