Hello, okay, first of all this is NOT the model of Air-Way vacuum for which the Air-Way company was sued by Hoover. It was a completely different model than this one.

Second, Air-Way, which was founded in 1920, remained in business until 2008, when the company was forced to cease production as the rising cost of aluminum and steel made producing the cleaner in America too costly. It was hardly a "fly by night" operation as your listing seems to imply.

Over the years, Air-Way's products were consistently of the highest quality and featured significant innovations -- such as the disposable bag, which Air-Way introduced about 40 years before other manufacturers caught on.

Third, your machine is not worth anywhere $950.00. A tenth of that amount, PERHAPS, if a couple of collectors get into a bidding war. But it is not all that rare, despite its age, and many vintage appliance collectors already have this machine in their collection.

Just a big "FWIW"
