I found this piece of metal in the middle of the woods in nowhere Michigan. It seems to be a vacuum? I have added a photo of the Model tag. Does anyone have a photo of what it looks like whole or any information about it?

This model was sold under a few different brand names.....

I found a pic of the Kingston 6640 from Worthpoint. It was almost identical to the Sani-Way, an Electro-Hygiene model and the Royal 231, except that these had permanently affixed casters and the Kingston attached to a separate rolling caddy. Also, the Kingston and Sani-Way had a unique latch mechanism and a hinged lid.

That color!

I always loved the blues that were popular in that decade.

Sad how all that's left is the manufacturing plate....

I have that same Kingston I inherited from my aunt when she passed. She bought it right before moving to Fort Lauderdale, FL in 1956. I acquired it in 1989. At some point the hose was changed from braided to vinyl, and I remember having to fabricate paper bags using pizza boxes to make a cardboard "ring." I've never seen that dolly, and I have the owner's manual with mine. IIRC it was never pictured. I'd be curious to see what it looked like if anybody has one....
