In the absence of a picture, I can only say that Racine was the home of many companies that made universal motors. Those are fractional horsepower series-wound motors with commutators that can operate on AC or DC voltage and run at high speed, usually 8000 to 15000 RPM.

Such motors can be integrated into portable electric tools like drills, sewing machines and malt mixers or they can be made as separate devices with belt pulleys to run any small machines like watchmaker lathes.
