Hi all. This came my way last Saturday. I've never heard or seen one like it before. Does anyone know anything about it?

Very odd handle Not surprisingly it doesn't power up! I might restore this one.

Thanks guys. Anyone in the UK got one or seen one before? Wikipedia says that the Electric Suction Sweeper Company was what Hoover was called in the UK before they became Hoover. Not sure whether that sounds right to me. | ||

Croydon
I would doubt that Hoover in the UK was ever known as anything but Hoover. The attached picture is from Good Housekeeping in 1928. I THINK the Croydon is the one in the middle, with the Hoover on the right. Its an interesting catch, I hope you can get it running. Might I ask you where you came across it?
