Hi, Are you sure its a scott & fetzer vacuum cleaner?
It doesn't look like one to me just similar. The Nozzle looks attached permanently. Also the front wheel axle looks in two separate pieces. Plus several other oddities. There look to be a data plate on the bottom of the handle. What does it say?? James:o) |

Hello Sherry.
I was thinking the exact same thing(s) that James stated above. If that is a 'data plate' & you can clean it off, you may be able to decipher the 'mystery' of the true manufacturer. If you L@@K in your brother's Kirby Proof Book, you will see towards the beginning, a 'random list' of models. It shows a photo of an Ezee. On a side note, The Ezee (or Grasshopper), which WAS designed by James B. Kirby; however, it was NOT built or sold by the Scott/Fetzer Company. Scott/Fetzer did not begin building Jim's vacuums until 1919. This is not to say that the above machine, couldn't be one of James' 'other' random designs or patents that he sold or licensed to other companies. Cheers & hagd all, Bill |

What it appears you have is not a Scott Fetzer or kirby. It may be a Royale Vacuum. |

OP's account is long deactivated so this is for anyone who peruses this thread. This is a Universal upright. Granted an odd model that is different from any other I have seen, but the handle bail and wheel setup give it away. here is my more common model , E720.

It looks like an early Universal.
