Good lord! I am dumbfounded! How ever in the world did you find that out???????

Also is this thing for sale? I'd love a "mint condition" copy.

Man oh man that has bugged me for all these years I was thinking maybe Singer or Montgomery Ward or something - or even something homemade from like Popular Mechanics because what is very strange about it is that it is assembled in 2 halves and you can disassemble its halves.

That is truly incredible man, I thank you so much!


and lol Neupert - what a wacky weird name of ever a vacuum cleaner could be

Thanks! I bought it today from a honey hole with thousands of vacs. I saw it poking out on shelf along with a couple of graybar handhelds I got also. I will absolutely post pics after it is cleaned and rewired. Not for sale yet. I am wondering, because it is labeled Junior, is there an upright out there?
I heard from a friend that Neupert made a few other home appliances, mixers I think?

Alright no problem, if it ever comes up for sale in the future please think of me. Months, years, decades, no pressure at all. :)

I at least have closure now and can properly name and date this fella. We can be known as the only two collectors that has one I guess, lol

All cleaned up! The spring in the bag broke due to rust so I cut it out and put a similar spring around it. Runs pretty quietly, but a relatively finicky motor to work on. Also, the flange that holds the motor in the casting is wood lol

Yup - that is correct. Mine also has a wood motor gasket. I thought someone had bodged it. Now I know that is original.
