According to the box, this is a Japanese motor, and it is in a pink carton marked "Mashima", so it's reasonable to assume this is true.
The motor is also a bit rusty, and full of foam crumbs, the source of which is a mystery.
Still, a few minutes with a stiff brush, some emery for the rusty bits, and a little light oil, and we have a result.
Whack a 9v battery across the terminals, and after a little hesitation, the motor spins over very nicely. This thing was well engineered all those years ago!
