Hello ,
I am French and I work in Brussels. For now , I enjoy the sun of Provence .
Approximate excuse my English .
I own a vacuum cleaner " The Clarke Vac- All" .
I found nothing on the net.
I think it dates from the 1920s .
Can you tell me about this vacuum cleaner ?
Thank you in advance

I've never heard of or seen one of these, but it's very cool looking! It looks like a large hand-held with an upright handle. Very unique!

Contact them?

It looks like they are still in business ..

Please read the history

www.clarkeus.com/aboutus/ourhisto...

You will see they started out making sanders, which is on your motor "Clark Sanding Machine Co"

 

Excerpts:

 

"Through the mid-20’s demand increased, and Clarke added a handle to his sander for use in wood floor restoration. He also added a line of vacuum machines to the existing sander products to make quick work of jobsite clean-up"

 

Clarke Milestones: 

1956 – PS26/PS30 Electric, Gas and Propane Floor Scrubbers and DU-8 Rental Sander 
1958 – First battery powered floor scrubber, the Clarke-A-Matic BP 20 
1959 – Clarke introduces the FM Floor Maintainer 
1963 – TB Series Automatic Scrubbers 
1965 – First Dual Motor Upright Vacuum Cleaner, the Model 550 
1969 – First wide-area vacuum, the 580 SpaceVac 

 

Also found this from 1927 ..

"CLEANER Different in price, different in weight, different in construction as well as convenient, easy to handle, made to operate in one hand without effort — these are a few of the claims made for the Clarke Vac-All Electric Cleaner."
