In a previous thread, someone got curious about the post- World War II Westinghouses. I don't know a GREAT deal about them, but I know that a lot of them looked like this one. I've had this brochure for a million years and have finally fired up my old scanner. I'm starting to scan things I think the Club might want to see. Here goes (4 pages of the brochure):

John, these scans are gorgeous -- and not too large at all! That makes them beautiful and clear -- would love to find one of these machines! | ||

Love the look of the "Captian". It makes me think of the Hoover Elite's and Eurke Bravo's with the bag riding in the front of the handle. Then again it reminds me of my Eureka Model "M" from the 30's but much more Deco looking. That machine would be a rare find these days ! Norm | ||

This Vacuum reminds me of the GE deluxe upright that was pictured in another post. | ||

Great Scans, John!
And I wouldn't mind having a Westinghouse upright myself! Although the vacuums were made in Springfield, MA, there were many "Westinghouse Families" in Mansfield, OH, where I grew up, as there was a Westinghouse plant there that made most of their large appliances and some of the small kitchen appliances at one time as well. But by the mid-70's, the refrigerator line had been moved to a plant in Columbus and the small appliance lines had been sold to Hamilton-Beach/Scoville, and by the time I worked there in 1977, they were only making washers, dryers, and ranges. The Aunt that I got my Westinghouse cannister from also had one of these uprights at one time, but it was long gone many years ago. Jeff | ||
