That Royal was probably built between the late 20's and mid 30's. Prior to 1928, the bag coupling was on the other side of the fan case, and in the mid 30's Royal began producing vacuums with a revolving brush. Don't think I'd pay their asking price for it though. Here's a pic of a pre-1928 Royal, before I started restoration on it (which isn't finished yet).

Wow I would buy that in a heartbeat, That's so cheap, Just a pity it would cost me so much to get it here to South Africa, If something like that showed up here the seller would be asking at least $ 100.00 - $ 200.00 for it.
YOU guys are so lucky to get stuff that well priced. This post was last edited 03/23/2014 at 07:25 |
