I wasn't going to stop, but I said eh why not? Came across this Electro Hygiene model 966. Has most of its original attachments, and even the instruction manual.

Was this related to Filter Queen?
Some of those attachments look very Filter-Queen-ish.
btw- I like your wide baseboards complete with brown outlets in them. |

Jeff,
The rating plate on his machine would also mention The P. A. Geier Company rather than Royal Appliance Mfg. Co. (the transition to the latter was complete by serial no. 68928 on the model in question: 966) Here are the two versions of the nameplate I'm talking about. The older version of the nameplate (serial no. 966-41834) also does not have three patents listed: 2,997,729 (filed 1959/issued 1961), 3,066,345 (filed 1961/issued 1962) and design patent D-193,172 (filed 1961/issued 1962). The newer version (serial no. 966-68928) also omits patent 2,917,769 (filed 1955/issued 1959). ~Ben |
