I posted some items here that Col. Swafford had owned, a good friend. I was back over at his house and got him to unpile stuff so I could photo the comet he'd shown me. It's under a lot of dust and grime. It's really in.great low use shape from what I can tell.by the places I've cleaned/dusted. It's real clean in the filter, catch bag, where it gets all the dirt. It was just not used. It'probably been sitting up after little use for 50-60 years and never dusted. See this is one reason I joined CW, I told him I can give him all the info by just posting a pic etc. of the item. I'll just ask for everyone to please tell me about it. This place has the most sccurate info, I've been to others and the CW collectors are the sharpest and can cross check any comments in an open forum. Tell me what you know sbout it.

It was an open forum until the new owners, decided to prevent us from easily communicating about items posted.
Looks like 1955-1965. Don't think it was a huge success but it is very rare. I have a 1950s Electrolux I still use.
Thanks Vynil,BB2, Apache. Appreciate the info Apache, I told him I thought it was around that time also. The next time I go over there, I'll try to clean it up a little.
What an *interesting* machine! I suspected by its general design that it might be 'related' to the "Compact" vacuums of the 1940's/50's, and info given at this page (scroll about halfway down) seems to confirm that, along with dating it to the 1950's or so. Great prize! :-) :-) :-)
