Please Help Identify This Windlass

[rlvike]

I recently inherited a Windlass winch. If someone could please help me identify the maker or model as is does not have any company markings except for casting numbers. Also what the value is.
Thanks very much.

Windlass: Could be a RC PLATH, or a knock off.

RC Plath Company - Metal Spinning Since 1926

wow , it's got a helluva motor on it! I vote Plath or Ideal.

My guess is that the motor is a 120/240 volt. It could be AC or DC depending on how ancient it is. Looks pretty. ____Grant.

Yeah... was wondering that too from the look of the motor....

My bet is RC Plath. Do a search and call them. They'll be able to look at the photos and tell you what it is. Great people to deal with.
