Yes it really is beautiful isn't it. I even like the kinda crude way the handle-holders and plug assembly are riveted on. Really gives it a vintage aircraft appearance | ||

Just wondering Charles if they sent you any pictures of attachments? One has to wonder what those would have looked like. | ||

Yes, here are the rest of the photos I got. The attachments are not at all like my Eaton attachments.

n.b., I just noticed that it's 125 volts, so either it is not European or was made for import to Canada or the U.S | ||

Not an Erres
What an interesting machine this is. Personally I was convinced it was not a Erres/Remocco/Eatons as there would be little point in producing a machine that is substantially different to the Dutch cleaner for Belgium However, looking at the shape what it did shout out to me was Universal. Members kindly contributed to a thread I started last year (see link) and I belive this cleaner is BASED on the Universal design - as happened also here in the UK. Fair enough it does not have the graceful sweeping handle but to me the shape of the cleaner is similar to the Universal, given the removable flex is more of less in the position of the switch too. I wonder, given the styling of the machine, if it was perhaps a pre-war model which was replaced by the 55 (going by the instruction book, would have been mid 1950s -it has the later version carpet nozzle but older floor nozzle) and the old machine was put away (and forgotten) in the Lux box, which in itself is also worth something It was also not unusual to find varying voltages in different regions until after WW2 so the machine may have been of European manufacture and use. Brilliant find though, be great to see it polished u Al CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK | ||
