Firstly, why not use it ? If it sucks, it can be used on a daily basis even with good maintenance. I would!
Secondly, I doubt it is the original belt unless it has seen less than a years use since brand new because that is about the maximum life of a round belt. Plus, you'd know if it were original because being over 90 years old it would be SOLID. Sorry, don't mean to be down on you, just nit picking. PICTURES PLEASE... | ||

 Sorry to nit pick but would you seriously drive an upright Hoover without wheels on a carpet and a rare one at that, Jamie?
Lane - try this video on you tube but also send a message to the member as you may get more info from them.

 Lane - The 105 was also known as The Special. It was not a factory-rebuild, though someone else may have given this vacuum its "lovely" blue color. I cannot get my scanner to work at the moment, but when I can, I will post an image here from a brochure dated approximately 1918, showing the N. - John | ||

Painting I think in the future I will paint the handle, base, and motor cover to be original... I don't really have experience with motors so I am Leary of jumping that far in. And it would be great to see that brochure! Thanks for the info! | ||

Wow! Thanks for posting that, John. It's really neat. I used the inflation calculator and the special would cost more than $800 today! | ||
