These are very rare and there is not a lot out there. Most of the ones that show up are all in gray, and not brass. You must live in a historical house so I would say get it restored and hooked back up to the house, its part of the history.
I found an advertisement from The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Brooklyn, New York, Mar 31 1914. It cost $160.00 in 1914 which equals to $4,194.97 in 2020 in 2020 dollars. Which is about equal to what a central vacuum costs today actually. It was something only someone well-to-do would have installed in their home back then.

Hi Les:
Caligula, who is shown here, was a pet cat. He was the only mascot the V.C.C.C. ever had. As to a Tuec, I never had one, in fact I never had a central-Vac till 1994, and it was an Electrolux. All my non-electrics are canisters, or upright pumpers, and I have one that is hand cranked. I hope that clears up the misconception. Alex Taber |
