Hello Kirk,
this motor looks like an ordinary asynchronous induction motor. It is
constructed for slow drives with large angular momentum, for instance, a
large fan propeller, slow running in order to make as little noise as
possible. Supposedly it's been running on single phase AC, so there

That is an odd duck, I cannot say I have seen one built like that.

In case anyone is interested, I have some pictures of my fan motor here:

There is a slot in each pole

A short story for the curious.
I was hoping to hack a motor to get a short (pancake like) three phase
motor. I used a motor from an old box fan, similar to this one:

My motor had a stator core with six poles so I cut the wires

I noticed each pole has a split at an angle which reminds me of a
split-phase motor which uses the split to get the single phase motor to
start in the proper direction.
Oops, correction I meant shaded pole motor:
