Can anyone tell if this motor is a TEFC type?

The attached link is to several photos. I'm wondering if the finned outside indicates it is TEFC, or if not, would it be the "open, drip-proof" type?

It does have a fan on one end. Tried to get a photo into the opposite end to see if it's sealed, but not really sure.

I'm really trying to find out what to compare this to to get an idea what a used, good-condition motor like this is worth.

Nameplate Info:
Ajax Electric Motor Corp, Rochester, NY
5HP, 1ph, 230V, 60Hz
Amps 25.0
RPM 1715
Frame 184T
Cont Rating 40degC Max Ambient
Service Factor 1.15

Not sure what else is relevant.

I realize this isn't a very interesting or challenging query, so I really appreciate any and all help.

Thanks
Keith C.

It's a TEFC machine. An ODP machine has apertures at either end through which you can see the winding or the rotor.

Over here in Europe it would be worth a few tens of pounds on ebay, depending on the day and who was bidding. It's at the top end of the size range that hobby / home workshop guys would be interested in, but they are probably the most likely buyers.
