Doug Vieyra and Tom Wesenberg know this history of 32-volt systems. Jacobs initially made 32-volt wind generators before REA, and later 110-volt wind generators, but the standard in rural America in the 30s was 32 volts.

As for the look you want, I'm guessing its mostly fan blades and the wire cage. You might take it in to an auto parts store and see what they might have in a 6-volt or 12-volt heater motor that you could swap out, retaining the blade and cage.
