This is so cool. I don't know if it is original or not, but the shortened pipe on the back and wheels say it is.

Looks too rough and slobbed together to be a salesmans sample. Likely a failed prototype as a proof of concept type of idea. There was another company that made a hand vac that could be converted into an upright, I forgot who. But it had a stick and a metal plate that looked like a clothes iron shape.
Back then there was no small or large vacuums, so if your house was too small for say....a big clunky Hoover 700, you were out of luck. | ||
