Is that Singer?

Is it possibly a Shetland Lewyt?

Perhaps one of the lesser Lewyts??

It looks like a Lewyt, but it doesn’t appear to have a suction control knob, or tool storage.

Wasn't there also a boxy metal canister from sunbeam?

Definitely a Shetland Lewyt from the early 60's, it was the lowest priced model they made, no suction control, no tool caddy, probably sold for $29.95.

Surprising to see such a modest vacuum for such a large house. Really sad, that beautiful old victorian will probably be knocked down with all that deterioration. I'll bet the hose and attachments are still somewhere in that house. Someone needs to save that cleaner!

A couple of years ago I saw another video of this house and I wanted to see if I could find it because some of the current pictures are showing the house as "different"

Currently the vacuum is in the first floor dining room, near the TV and it's closed.
A couple of years ago it was on the 3rd floor attic and it was open, meaning you could see the motor.
Parts and accessories I haven't seen. Most likely they are among all the litter up there.

Who brought it downstairs and why?
Also, someone did some cleaning and moving of furniture. but why?

It's weird.
