Found this today in one of my haunts. I was there for an Airway 88 and the owner pulled out this "old floor cleaner" and wanted to know if I was interested. I NEVER find anything still in its original box! It has been assembled, possibly once, but shows no sign of wear or use other than a side mark or two.
The handbook has a date of 1959 written on it.

Never saw one of those before! I have seen the single brush model, but never a twin brush model. Congrats on a great find!

What a great find! That machine looks very much like contemporaneous Regina models, right down to the paper sleeves around the brushes. Here are some photos of an estate sale rescue that I babied back to good health!

That Regina looks like and earlier model of my grandmas Sears polisher she still uses.
