This motor came to me in a slot car parts lot, but the plastic case seems to suggest it's from a toy car, probably a battery-op from the '60s. Any ideas what car or other vehicle or manufacturer it belongs with? Measures about 1.25" wide by 1.25" long by 7/8" thick.
What toy motor might this be from?

Are those actually little bolts holding the bushing in in picture #2?

They are not real bolts Mike, just fakes molded into the casing. Turns out the motor is no longer working, I tried it on 3 and 12 volts with no response. Larry, the casing would probably need to be cut apart, as it looks like it's factory glued together securely.
