It's a 1955/6 ish Kenmore Satellite. The one I grew up with, mom kept in the basement these last 40 odd years and she tossed out just before I moved back here :( | ||

Now that's pretty cool. It looks sort of like a suitcase, but it looks SO 50s! How strong is it's suction? Comparable to other machines of the time? | ||

Suction Suction is amazing! Are Bags still available? No attachments--got just the vac and the hose. It does look to have a PN outlet. | ||

SR Logo I always LOVED that atomic-age Sears & Roebuck logo. I've got a Sears Silvertone "Solid State" receiver that has that logo on it. Always reminded me of a butterfly! | ||

Great find! I've never ran across any Kenmore canisters of this style/age. They seem pretty rare. | ||

They use those U shaped bags sort of like the Hoover type H, which who knows, could fit? The Kenmore bag was fatter though | ||

The Satellite never had a power nozzle available did it? Ours didn't have one nor was their an outlet on the machine. Just the Saturn like Fred shows? | ||

"Vintage Kenmore" Great find! These were manufactured around 1958. If you need bags, I do have replacement bags which will work well! The bags are very scarce now. I find them at thrift stores and grab em fast! I did have this same one years back and sold it to a friend! | ||
