Here's my newest conquest!!! These are pics of him from the seller. I just bought him off of Etsy for $28.00! He's the cutest thing I've ever seen!!! His catalog number is BHV-3, serial number is EJ1067, and he is 150 watts. I don't know anything about him, except that he is the coolest little guy ever and I can't wait to vacuum with him!!! Thought I would share my happiness with everyone!!! :)

Nice vac!There were many colors and bag styles of this same vac.There was also a long handle offered to allow it to vacuum rugs in small apts.

Thanks for the info! As I've said above, I know absolutely nothing about this vacuum. Please share any info you have or know with me. I love to learn about all things vintage, especially things that I have! :) -Michelle

I have an old pool table supply catalog-they even sold this Westinghouse hand vac to clean pool tables!

"pool tables"

There was also a Royal hand vac labeled for Brunswick pool tables.

Suppose any roller brush hand vac could be used to vacuum pool tables.

I have a similar Westinghouse, but mine has a lighter bag (beige or gray), the belt cover is red instead of blue, and the handle is bluish-gray. Here's a pic.
