Is this hose end from a Canadian Electrolux?

Greetings all, packed with one of my recent eBay Electrolux purchases was a hose I didn't recognize. It had a plastic machine end that looked incomplete, and this handle. The warning about not using on wet surfaces is in French. Would the hose have been for a Canadian Electrolux?

As luck would have it, I recently bought a bojack non-electric hose whose end was slightly too large to fit my dusting/upholstery tools. I was able to screw this handle onto that hose and end up with a usable hose.

OK, more info please

I'll buy that - do you have an image of the machine end of that hose? That would nail it.

Didn't some Electrolux uprights accept a standard tank machine end coupling? I seem to remember owning one that did.

That handle

Is the non electric hose handle that was used for the canister models starting with the model L and 1205’s in the early 70s and they continued used to use that handle design for numerous years and adapted it with the screw on ribbed fitting for the non electric upright hoses. The nice thing is…that if the hose material goes bad, you can simply buy new hose material and unscrew this genuine handle and screw it into the new plastic hose material! They are very comfortable handles to use and the suction relief valve works well on these genuine model hose handles as well. A generic manufacturer actually made a nearly identical one and I have one, but lately I cannot find any for sale out there…perhaps it infringed on the patent so production of it had to be stopped or maybe it was discontinued in favor of something more universal among other brands.

Jon, a bojack hose did work perfectly with this handle

My bojack replacement hose had finer pitch than the hose this handle came with, but it stretched and screwed right into the handle, and now I have a great non-electric hose. Which is a good thing because the hose's original handle didn't have a tapered end and was very difficult to insert into my combination dusting/upholstery tools.
