The one in front is a postwar model 30, thru about 48 or so, but the one in the rear is a mystery, I think maybe a model 20 but im not sure. ![]() |

Hans, the model 20 rug tool is more like the 12 tool, and the floor tool is low tech gray wrinkle finish deal. Electrolux kept it primitive for that model. That's a nice display of tools you have! John |

I've wondered every time I've seen one of those tools how one was supposed to use it. The flat area that contacts the rug is only a few inches wide. Also, it seems that tools like that would tip to either side easily with a small amount of torque from turning or twisting. But, I've never really used one, so maybe someone who has could describe its use and effectiveness.

Yes, these were for rugs only, a separate tool was for hard surface flooring. After the LXI they switched to making the rug on one side/floors on the other style tool. |

Ah, that did the trick! Now, if you want to see it in its original long-wise form just save the file to your hard drive and view it with your image viewer. Most of them have a "rotate" tool. |
