I have a Kirby Utility Model H all original it even runs (motor needs brushes though) original bag and cord. I was wondering what something like this might be worth? Photos attached. |

Another coveted item. As rare as the two Vacuette models Kirby is known for. |

The vacuum has the same motor as Kirby uprights through 1953 and this is made give or take a few years 1920.
The motor was large even for handvacs 100 years later. If you slide it across a sofa the lower housing looks like it could catch on something. I'm theorizing but I'm not too far off. The chamber I believe is where you would put stuff to demoth kind of like the crystalizer on old Kirby's. Les |
