A rebadged Scott and Fetzer Vacuette? Interesting.... This antique mall has been selling some nice vacuums on ebay. It is not so far from our Baltimore collectors - hey Billy and Roger, go check this place out! John CLICK HERE TO GO TO eluxca's LINK on eBay | ||

"I look but don't have the real old vac bug..." I sure do. Once you get a good dose of really well polished aluminum you just can't go back to painted metal or plastic. | ||

What was shocking was that NO ONE bid on it! And, yes, it's a Sears-badged Scott & Fetzer non-electric Vacuette.

Now that is weird having no bids. Next thing there'll be another one up for bids and getting bids all over. I've had similar happen to me once. One bid on my item then a month later the exact same thing in much worse conditon with 5 bidders when mine was in primo shape. | ||

That's really wacked --- seller is forgetting that a lot of ebayers, especially those with any experience at all with "mee-too" bidders, do usually snipe or bid at the last minutes of an auction. | ||

What was that sellers feedback rating? Like Charles said, he must not know how snippers work. Now, I have looked over a lot of Kirby stuff and that Sears vacuum looks different than vacuettes I have seen. Any ideas here? | ||

If you saw the recently listed Sears machine at a different angle, you'd realize it's the same machine as the "Improved Vacuette." | ||

I think the reason they don't is because they could never generate the same suction power as their electric cousins. I have a Kwik-Kleen similar to the one in the auction, only mine has the bag exhaust on the back of the machine. Wish I had the bag for it.... | ||

Well, Scott & Fetzer is located in Cleveland, so it's likely that the "Standard Vacuum Cleaner MFG Co" also of Cleveland was just a paper-only name for the machines that S&F made for private labels. That procedure is not at all uncommon. | ||
