[TheForge] odd ball electric plug

Greetings all --

Run into something and though I would ask the collective brain for some 
help.  A friend contributed a squirrel-cage blower to my shop but the 
plug is unlike anything I've seen.  Looking down the bore, there is the 
usual round peg at the normal ground position (6 o'clock), the usual 
flat blade at 3 o'clock, and another round peg at 9 o'clock instead of a 
blade.  There are no labels, ID info, etc. on the housing. European? DC? 
Before I hook it up to a 120V line and release the magic smoke, I 
thought I would ask.
