Nice Electrolux.
Leatherette indicated a late model XXX I'm guessing 1954. Tools in the box are not Electrolux, but the wands and rug tool in the last pic are. The rug tool looks like a model XI (11) from I believe 1927 to 1930. I can't see the cord that well but looks original, the hose should be a braided dark gray.
The model XXX was the first all American Electrolux, the model V (5) and XI were made in Sweden, the model XII (12) started out in Sweden but the last were manufactured in Old Greenwich, Connecticut from 1933. The model XXX was the longest running Electrolux 1937-1954 (or 55)? Generally speaking, these were built like a Sherman tank, indestructible, hard working machines with attachments galore. You would do well to keep it as an upstairs vacuum cleaner, and you can find all the correct attachments to get it in top working order. If you want to know more I can direct you to a thread devoted to the early Electrolux models, it's in our archives section. I grew up with these and say again they are great machines. Alex Taber.

More Thanks, Alex . . . . . . for the information to go to the 2013 archives to read up on the Electrolux. I found it to be an interesting read. My grandmother had a model XXX after her Westinghouse canister was ready for retirement. Her model XXX was a very good machine. | ||

Hose and carbon brushes Could anyone tell me if I can covert a Kirby vinyl hose to use with this? Can I get the Lux ends to fit? Any directions on how to replace the brushes? | ||

Nathan, Please consider posting some Youtube videos to demo Electrolux USA maintenance of Model XXXs and others like some have done for other brands. That would help those of us who are visual & auditory learners. Thanks. | ||

Nathan Thank you so much for your help. I would like to try and install the new carbon brushes but will definitely need some guidance on that and with servicing and cleaning. I will email you. Thanks, Tim | ||

Here's mine...
I have the carpet nozzle and sprayer, too! Needless to say, I'm proud of my Electrolux!
