Yes, the Sani Emptor was a production change during the run of the Sanitation System. The System was the only S & F vacuum that I know of that came with that friction driven brush system. It also would have come with the straight suction nozzle.
You're right, without a serial number or model number we'll never really know for sure. |

I noticed it looks like a royal vacuum switch and bag topper. The spring next to handle is similar to my 1920s straight suction royal.
The bag is just a hack job. I think it's supposed to be red print and lines go down symmetrical with bag not a Kirby logo instead of 3 and 9 o'clock it's 3-4 o'clock and 9-10. Meeting at 6 bottom center of bag it's on a different clock. The bag is nice without the ink nice repo but the screen print is awful. I would not buy the vacuum cord doesn't look right. If I'm paying $1000 for pa vacuum I'm calling vacuum museum asking Tom if x amount would buy the vacuum . Some of the vacuums in circulation are far from original and are so rare very few people know correctness of vacuums. I fear in time some knowledge will be lost. Les |
