This is advertised as an Electrolux from the 50's, I looked at the Canadian, American and European collections, and I didn't find it anywhere. Do you have a clue ?

Sorry guys, if I'd transferred the right picture from the ad, I wouldn't have asked the question. This vacuum is an "Utility de luxe". ANy information available about it ?

Well, I saw another reference to Belltower vacuum cleaners, but the model I saw didn't have the chromed end caps. | ||

Hey Francois:
LOL my collection (Doug) not Pauls. The Utility Delux is a rebranded Holland Electro Machine. Very similar to the Ruton vacuums but different attachments. From what I am told Phillips, Holland Electro, Ruton and Erres were all made in the Phillips factory in Holland but to the specs of the individual companies. Hence the similarities. It would have been made in the 1950s Doug | ||

They are getting hard to find.
There is an Arrow Electro available in Montreal as well if you are interested. I tried to get it last year but the seller and a friend that was going through Montreal couldn't get together. www.kijiji.ca/v-view-deta... Doug | ||

My grandmother had a vacuum like that when I was a kid in the 60s except the centre part was green. I've always wondered what the brand name of it was. The floor tools were different than those in Doug's pic of his vacuum. I remember there was a floor tool that was black, heavy duty plastic with a mop type bottom to it for the bare floors. The cord was detachable and the hose was black rubber with a screw on connector for the end going into the vacuum. It just used a shake out bag.

Hey Gary
It was a Holland Electro. They had this style of rug and floor nozzle shown in the picture below. (This is the lower line model. Top of the line was similar to the one above) Doug

Doug,
My parents and grandparents are all dead so I have no way of finding out how my grandparents would have gotten this vacuum. My parents had a Filter Queen from the 50s and it is the first vacuum I remember (I was born in 1959) so I don't know if my parents would have had the Arrow Electric first and then given it to my grandparents when they got the FQ or what. My grandparents were very old school, having both emigrated from the Ukraine. They had few electric appliances in the house, and I doubt that they would have bought a vacuum of any type. Unfortunately I will never know now how they came to get the Arrow. Gary | ||
