The first one is a handle to make it a portable hand cleaner. The second one is a coupler that the hose went on to. Neither one will work on your Classic. They were made for much older models. |

The red tool is actually called 'The Lifter Grip,' as explained above, it was a way to convert the upright to a hand portable, or tank/canister. That tool, and the 'Hose Coupler,' which you also posted date back to circa 1928, with the Scott/Fetzer Home Sanitation System. There was also a straight suction nozzle, and a small bag, but these were optional tools and dropped from the line in the late 1940's. There should also be a small round metal tool like the hose coupler, but designed to go over the exhaust to hook the hose up as a blower.
Hope that helps, Alex Taber. |

I think you're right, the only mention I have of it and the small bag was in the instruction book of the Kirby 1-C. With the belt lifter, there would be no need to have a separate nozzle. I do think it a shame that they did away with the small bag, however, as it was not outfitted with a Sani-Em-Tor, but fit right on the exhaust, I doubt if anybody used it.
