Your vacuum is also known as a Silver-King. It uses a flat cellulose filter over the top of the dirt bucket, and could be considered "bagless". It has the ability to pick up 2 gallons of water. These machines were very popular in the 1960's and 1970's. They were sold by door to door salesmen, as well as in specialty vacuum shops. Silver King is still in business, although located in Colorado, and the repair parts for YOUR machine are still available. If you want to sell it on eBay, under Vintage Vacuums, I'd advise polishing up the aluminum portion of the motor unit before taking pictures for the auction.
