Chad, that book was very interesting. I do have a question, the book and other sources use the term "crystal chamber" what does that mean or pertain to? | ||

Mine is similar but not branded with anything that says club. I just picked it up yesterday so excuse the dust.

I'm saying this in complete ignorance, but one thing that stands out about photos of that machine is that it has two different patent plates on it. That makes me lean toward thinking could be a very early 'frankenvac', which in and of itself is pretty darned cool. It's a shame the patent plates don't have the actual patent numbers on them, just dates. That would be an excellent clue to its origins.
Speaking of 'Oldsmo-Chevys', my dad was a district sales manager for Oldsmobile from 1959-1991 and told me of a colleague of his who in the mid-1980s picked up a Cutlass Supreme coupe to drive as a company car. When he got in it, he realized something wasn't quite right. From the factory, it had almost a complete interior for a Chevy Monte Carlo! How that got past quality control is anybody's guess. Lucky for them it got put into company service instead of dealer inventory. For better or worse, the car didn't remain a 'Monte Cutlass' for long. The correct interior components were swapped in at a nearby Olds dealership. | ||

Evidently Electro-Hygiene was flying by the seat of their pants in the early years! Thanks for the picture. That really cleared things up lol. I did notice yours seems to be on the bottom of the motor housing. My little wierdo is on the side. | ||

Interesting!
James, I have never seen an Electro-Hygiene with the word "Club" on the nameplate, or with a single rear wheel. I doubt if it is a "Frankenvac," as the parts are all genuine Royal/Electro-Hygiene. I do have 2 Royals with a single rear wheel, one is an early straight suction model that also has no model number with the bag outlet on the opposite side, and the other is a late 40's or early 50's model 153.
Brandon, although the data plate on the bottom of yours doesn't show a model or serial number, they should also be stamped on the nameplate on top of the fan housing. I'm sure when you find it yours will most likely be a model 230. It could also be a 94, but from the pics it didn't have the hammered finish that set the 94 apart from the rest. Also the bag on yours is a zipper bag from the mid-60's. Genuine Electro-Hygiene, but not original to that model. Jeff | ||

I might have an answer... Club aluminum sold stuff like a waffle iron and mixer under their name, I wonder if they sold a vacuum.... | ||

That's actually a Royal "Purifier". Royal private labeled for direct (door to door) sales companies, like Modern Hygiene and Electro-Hygiene, along with many other brand names on the same cleaner. For sure, that is a Royal "Purifier". We have that exact machine in the Museum under the Royal brand name.
