Hi Jon, that is a beautiful 230 you have there! It is one of my favorites, too! Actually, any model of Electro-Hygiene is one of my favorites! The 230 is actually much newer than you think. It was the last straight suction model Electro-Hygiene and was made from 1945 to 1954, when it was replaced by the revolving brush model 285. It was labeled 2-230 the last year or two of production and I have no idea why, as there is no difference between the 230 and 2-230 that I can see, other than the bag on my 2-230 is blue instead of black.
I wouldn't exactly say the 230 is rare, but they aren't exactly a dine a dozen either. Do you have attachments with yours? I have a set with mine, but am missing the wands, floor brush, and crevice tool. Where in Ohio are you? Hopefully you can join us for one of our mini-meets sometime. Congrats on a great find, Jeff |
