Vacuum is in working condition. Comes with everything shown. I believe there were other attachments that originally came with this portable. $70.00 + shipping

I have one that's almost new in the box. The hose was that heavy vinyl they used in the very early 50's. The handle is definitely NOT wood. The cord is black with a belden end. I didn't know paper bags were ever made to fit inside the cloth bag but the one pictured looks right. Very weak suction. I was quite disappointed in mine when I received it from the family of the original owner.
