That's filthy and old. Probably full of horrible germs. But don't worry, I'll take it off your hands... :)

The Singer R-1 was made by General Electric. There were three versions, one was the Singer (highly styled), one was the GE model 111, and one was the Premier Grand. All three shared the same chassis and motor and brush roller (backwards revolving so as not to seize the carpet fringe). The difference was in the cloth bags, switch (Singer was 2 speed, GE was one speed), and top motor cover.

I find old vacuums here and there really, sometimes at thrift stores, other times at antique stores, and there is always ebay. I'm not sure if these were ever popular, but something tells me that these were costly when new. I think one of the reasons that these Singer cleaners are so uncommon is that they are VERY stylized. So, it wouldn't take long for them to be considered HORRENDOUSLY "Out-of-date", making them an easy target as a "trade-in" towards a new vacuum. But this is just my theory.
