Nice machine-and with the storage case-was it marked "made in Fairfax,Va"? | ||

You should post a picture of the chest as well closed.. that's an important feature for some who collect vacs. | ||

And ... it's hard to tell anything about the condition of this machine with it all stuffed in the hassock. You should take everything out and do a "beauty shot" like this one:

 Charles,
What make of vacuum is that in your post #135137?. The body of the vac is very similiar to the one that my grandmother had and to the one I tried to describe in another post about the first vacuum we ever had. The difference is that my grandmother's was a greenish/brown colour but otherwise it looks to be the same. The angle of the hose inlet/outlets are the same, the screw on hose connector is the same although my grandmother's hose was rubber not woven. The runners and detachable cord are the same but hers had a different looking set of tools/wands. Also on hers the on/off swtich was a round black pushbutton about the size of a quarter.

Wifa from Norway? Very interesting but I don't think that would be the same as the one my grandmother had as I don't know how she ever would have gotten one from Sweden. This was back in the 50s after all and my grandparents lived literally in the middle of nowhere, in a small community in Northern Ontario, Canada. Unfortunately I have no way of finding out where they got this Wifa look-a-like from.
