Nice!, Fairfax also; The Fairfax power nozzle looks different than a Eureka sourced, which is the only one I've ever seen with a Fairfax. | ||

 ~ Hello, what a w0nderful collection! I'm happy to see another collector who's also enthused about floor polishers! I am as "nutty" for them as I am about vacuum cleaners! Here are a just a few of mine -- my favorites are Electrolux and Johnson Wax.
Cheers, "Electrolux137" (Charles Lester)

Hi vacuumguy:
That is indeed a great collection.
I want to thank you for the kind words about Vacuumland, there are several important people who put it together. But it's actually a spin-off of the Vacuum Cleaner Collector's Club, which was started in January of 83, and that's a story in itself. Sufice it to say that it was originally the club forum before breaking away and becoming it's own group. And it does a wonderful job of continuing what the V.C.C.C. started out to do. Namely, providing information to those who want to learn about the vacuum cleaner, and other related products. Thank's again, Alex Taber.

Love, etc. Yes, of course we do. I had the opportunity to vacation in Montreal back in 1987 and Loved it there also. So clean! | ||

Dear fellow Canuck Steve,
You are welcome! 8:00 in the morning? On a Saturday? Sheesh is right! How can you concentrate on your cartoons when your mom is distracting you with your favourite toy? :-) (Vacerator.....Montreal is not so clean anymore...politics has killed the place and there is not enough tax money to keep it pretty.....*sigh*....graffiti and potholes and crumbling infrastructure everywhere) | ||

Brian, Sounds like here as well now. The French settled Detroit, but you know, the same story. | ||

I've only ever seen one Electrolux polisher like the one shown above, and that is the one! It's not chrome but actually polished aluminum. When I found it, it was very dull and tarnished. I buffed it out on my motorized polishing wheel and was pleasantly surprised at how beautifully it came out.
I am pretty sure - based on logical deduction - that it's a very early example of this attachment (or perhaps a prototype). It =is= the older-style model with the "Patent Pending" designation on the bottom instead of having a patent number. I'm supposing that soon after it came out Electrolux started using the hammertone finish (gray, then dark turquoise, then dark blue).
I also have several "international models" from Sweden, the U.K. and Canada. The slight variances in these is fascinating to me! These photos are of the Swedish model. Some years ago a lady in Sweden sent me an email saying she had found my web site and had an old polisher attachment, that she would send it to me if I wanted it. She w0uldn't even accept reimbursement of postage!
