An odd bird, one of the Clarke 500 lookalikes! This one is called a Nilco 271 by Fakir. It runs well, just a little dirty. All I need is a belt and bags!

Clarke 500??? Back in the 80's Clarke made an upright similar to the 500 but is was plastic and designed to be lightweight. Does anyone remember this model? | ||

LuxLife,
Oh ok, I did notice that it had a Sanitaire bag on it. I'm not sure I've seen the one that you're talking about then. I've only ever seen a few Clarks. My good friend Ken Hedrick (PackardManKen) has an original red Clark 500 & I've seen one like the blue one pictured in this thread at the local vac shop (it was being serviced and wasn't for sale). Just out of curiosity, which hotel did you work in? I too work in a hotel.
