I was wondering who makes/made these? They look very similar to the attachments that came with Kenmore vacuums in the 70s and early 80s.
I have no relation to the seller, just wondering. CLICK HERE TO GO TO fan-of-fans's LINK on eBay | ||

These are the old Kenmore molds that are now used by Hayden central vacuums of Canada. The floor brush has been widened. I like the 3 small tools, but the floor brush has-or did- have just a center strip which doesn't get to the edges. | ||

Here are the ones for the Sears central vac from the 70's The brush inserts package was marked FSP (Whirlpool) - FSP is short for Factory Specialized Part I am assuming Whirlpool made them | ||

I agree, the floor brush in the ebay picture looks like a wider version of the one from the 80s and more current vacuums, and has only one thick row of bristles in the center and one narrow row in the center at the front and back. The white ones in the other picture, were better. They had a narrow, soft row of bristles in the center and felt around the edges. It also seems there was a wider version of it at some point. The rug nozzle with black bumper was initially cast metal, and later changed to plastic. You could still buy a gray plastic version from Sears up until the last couple of years.

Whirlpool made Kenmore from late 1957 until the 80s or 90s. | ||
