Your vacuum appears to have been repainted, as the ball casters have a chrome hood to the wheel (see the photo of my C9). Canadian patents are listed by the years, while US patents are listed by number. For example: Rexair Model B patented in Canada 1937., 1938, 1939. So people always assume it's a 1939 model, when in actuality, it's made way after that.
This is a picture of a C9 Compact with its original wrinkle finish paint job. Mine was made in 1982. |

Carefully dab on some paint remover in a well ventilated area...the gel kind that dissolve the paint. Scrape and wipe of the remainder. Then you can polish the Chrome. Pictures please... |
