how to check condition of wiper motor

I just got the 6 volt wiper motor from a 52 F2. What steps should I take to check its condition? I plan on lubing the linkage. Shall I open it up and do a visual check? Can I hook it up to a 12 volt battery? I would like to know if it is in working order before I try to sell it.

Thanks

I definatly would take the little cover off, that old yellow grease will be hard
as a rock by now, regrease good to go. I rather test it with a small batt.
charger. Make sure you can turn the amature you may use a needle
nose to turn the worm, a little oil won't harm it either. thats a rare find...
