Made in Northampton UK by Burrage and Boyd Ltd. There were various incarnations of The Newmaid. This is one of the last versions. |

Thanks for all the comments and feedback. @Hoovermatic do you perhaps know where i can look for further info? It doesnt work really good. The vacuum chamber has got too many places where it looses suction and the fan is very lightweight it doesnt spin for a very long time. |

I just think they should redesign the suction fan, maybe with one or two more blades on the fan and they should gear the brushroll to the wheels. |

i wish i had taken a pic. i got mine about 10+ years ago. i went to the antique shop on the corner of main street the day after the car show. nothing special during the show where all the stores were swamped. the very next day they'd already had new arrivals-it was still in the middle of the room leaning up against a very old dresser. price tag was $50 but i got away with $25. i wonder if this is the same one you had?
