Regina model M, which is the sister to an Imperial. I found one ad for it, dating it to around 1919. Going by the very old vac shop sticker and new style bag, the bag was replaced quite a long time ago. It runs so quiet but barely has any power, I get the sense the bristle bar does the most cleaning lol. The handle grip/switch is awesome! A couple of things in the background are coming soon!

Nice Regina!
I've never seen one that looks quite like that! I have a model 39 and a model 59, but neither one has a handle like the one on your model M. I'm also surprised to hear that it barely has any power, as my 39 is quite powerful, and yes, the motor on it is made by Westinghouse. However, the 59 (newer of the two) doesn't run and I haven't yet had time to check it out. Here are pics of the 39 (first) and 59 (2nd).

I have always loved the Regina uprights with the Westinghouse motors.
