You know, when I first saw it peeking out from the radio, I thought 'washing machine motor', sure enough, wardway was a washing machine brand/co in 1929....

One of the first that 'gyrated' ...lol

Found Very little other info tho :(

Interesting...

I found an ad for Wardway washers on a page for Montgomery Wards, so I assumed.........

Wardway was a captive brand of Wards


here it is:
