The silkscreening on the bag is remarkably intact.

Except for a replacement plug it's all original.

Did Zenith actually make these or are they a rebadged version of something else?

I am about 98% certain that these were made by Clements Mfg Co., maker of the Cadillac vacuum. They look almost identical, except for the belt cover. I will dig up a few ads that I have and scan them. - JL

BEAUTIFUL!

Ive been looking for the Cadillac version for years, Yes, it is identical to a Cadillac, they made this cleaner on up into the 50s, the other switch is the two speed motor!

Interesting. The motor seems to spin opposite of what is traditionally used on side-bagged machines.
