“always a day ahead”. Much love and gratitude to my friend Ray for donating this extremely rare “Morrow” (as in tomorrow) vacuum cleaner to the museum. It is from the early 1920s. It is unique and unlike any other straight suction vacuum in the collection. Thank you Ray (repairman on VL). You are a wonderful friend.

Shot of the original cloth bag. That’s so important.

It's a fixed bristle brush. The machine was restored and the brush rebristled by my friend Ray (Biker Ray on Vacuumland). In my initial post I made a mistake on Ray's vacuumland name. The motor is made by Westinghouse. It has a very low serial number.

if any of these old treasures were lost? maybe theyre still out there somewhere-I can only hope and pray I may find a couple out there someday but it's been awhile(pic is from 1986-a lot of carpet was ruined! I got a couple of vacs from neighbors that werent very old at the time but they survived!
