Jim's going to be your man in the motor comments department.
But I can say:
1 - the angled brushes mean the motor was designed to run in one direction only. Fortunately, it appears they're set up to run it clockwise looking at the commutator end - that happens to be the way most (I believe) transmissions' input shafts turn, which is important if you were to try using this motor.
Otherwise, you'd be stuck looking for a Honda host car, whose transmissions turn counter clockwise @ the input shaft.
2 - the brushes look healthy (plenty of meat left)
And now let me reveal (further reveal!) the depth of my ignorance on things motor-ish: I thought they all had 4 brush sets, not 6.
