Hello everyone,
Today I purchased an old milkshake maker(??) from an antique store. I think it's a beautiful piece and perfect for my first restoration project.
However, the plate with the power specifications contains information that I don't quite understand. Please see the picture below:
Does anyone know what's going on?
The company name is Signal Electric - Menominee from Michigan. I did some research and this piece is estimated to be between 70 to 100 years old!
Thanks for your help!

However, the plate with the power specifications contains information that I don't quite understand. Please see the picture below:
- It says "HP 1/95" and is estimated to be about 7W, but isn't that too low? There may be a dot between the '9' and '5' making it 1/9.5 which would be 77W, but this way of presenting the information seems a bit strange.
- What does the marking "CY" mean? It reads '0-60'
- The plate says "amps 32" or possibly ".32" - 32 amps would be way too much, and 0.32 amps wouldn't make 77W when multiplied by 115V.
