Phillip!!! Yay! Both are great looking machines. Good for you. Can you make out a model number at all on the belt cover of the Universal? Perhaps I could help you out with that one. Rick | ||

Rick - and Phillip - I'm pretty sure that Universal is THE Model 58. You know, THAT one, Rick?
Sweeper Vacs were pretty interesting machines. They started off as the brand Western Electric. At some point, the name was changed to Sweeper Vac.....I think they were absorbed by a company called Sturtevant. | ||

1940 page, still offering the 440 and an added "economy model?" You've seen those hand vacs on EBay a lot. I've got two of them. One for parts to make a really good one.

I know this hasn't been much help. And again,I have no idea on the age of these units. LF&C's first vacuum cleaner - an upright - came out in 1919. Have no idea what model number it was either. Take a look at the pamphlet John Lucia posted in the accompanying thread. Rick | ||
