Kirby Utility Model H

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.

I've always wanted to know. . .

Why the wheels?

and

WHAT is that cylindrical component at the left rear of the nozzle??

That’s another one of my dream Kirbys I’ve yet to find.

Wheels

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.
