Almost looks like a cross between the 1910's Elite, and the Frantz Premier. Anyone out there have one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/311782204547QUE...

The "diagram" in the ad says the switch is in the grip, while the switch on both the 1911 Ohio and the Tuec were on the base. The 1911 had a pull chain by the motor, and the Tuec had a handle fork operated switch, as shown here: I'd love to see an example, or even a more descriptive ad for one. Seems pretty rare. |

Maybe the first pic in this article? I do not see a thumb screw on the front, though. sites.google.com/site/modernerak...

That is probabably a page from the huge catalogs for hardware and other type stores in towns both large and small. |

The Rayvac is the very first model of Frantz Premier. I got the machine from Stan Kann himself as well as a vintage ad for it. Stan's didn't have a bag so he put one on it from a Cadillac. Very primitive machine.
The video of Stan and his two Ohio cleaners was taken during the convention of the VCA (vacuum collectors association) in 2007. I was there. In fact, tons of my friends were there too. I saw Stan every Sunday then, and scheduled that fun tour of his collection for my friends to experience. He was one of a kind. |

Looks just like the vac drawn in replies 18 and 19 in this thread, which was made by Clements. Maybe some collaboration went on with Jim Kirby? www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi...
