That is not a shop vac, that is a Kenmore canister from the late 50's to early 60's I would guess?? If you turn it over the model is engraved into the base of the machine, you have too look close, it is very faint sometimes. Good Luck. | ||

I looked all over the vacuum I could not find a single engraving. Is there any other way I could find out what type it is? Do you know of any websites that list the kenmore models? Thanks again for your help | ||

Those old Kenmores were pretty good, that old motor that Birtman built themselves, has a distinctive sound ,especially on start up, it kind of barks, which is the only way I know how to describe it. | ||

I think The first tanks they made were called Energex, then they started calling them The Commander, this would have been before WW2, They made so many different variations I cant keep up with them all! | ||

Sound Does anyone have a sound clip of any of these old Birtman Kenmores that they can post? I was curious as to what they sound like since it is so different..... | ||
