I was just leaving the crappy flea market this morning when I spotted this little Westinghouse Hand Vac barely sticking out from under a pile of junk. I was expecting it to be really grotty but it looks like it was barely used, the bag is near perfect as well. All it needs is a new belt. That's not damage on the handle, it's reflections from the flash

From the other angle. It looks like a little airplane I think. The Westinghouse badge pops off the front to access the spindle and belt and possibly there was a hose attachment, don't know.. Does anyone know what year this is from? I'm guessing early to mid 50's?

Westinghouse had a model that was full size that looked just like that my grandmother had one in the early 50's nice little vac/

I would love to find one of the full size uprights like that design. That is the first vacuum I remember my mom having.
