Sturtevant! This is EARLY.Perhaps 1912-1915.It was seen here as a Western Electric.I have only seen ads and heard of one that was found in US. Was it built for SA?Or found elsewhere?Any hose/attachments?Running?More pictures? Great find! | ||

Here's an ad from 1913 for it.
I always wondered what the floor tool looked like. As well as the filtration system.

Distribution company still exist... Ive just googled the Distribution company and it still exist in South Africa. I will contact them, maybe they still have a record to whom they sold it? I will take photos of the motor and the rating plates now, my phone is flat and i cant use the flashlight when the battery is below a certain point. | ||
