I recently gathered into my possession a General Electric Model AV-4 upright vacuum. There seems to be very little information online about it. I’m trying to date it. There is a post on this website that’s confident it is from 1939 but another that says it’s 1920’s. I did find a patent number from 1923 as I was cleaning.

At any rate, I’ve been polishing it up and getting it ready to use. I had to order a new belt as the existing one had stretched out. Otherwise, it works! I can’t wait to use it.

I got one of these a year ago. Try a old kirbuy belt. My vacuum was made in 1927.

I actually just got the same one

Mine just has the inverse bag on it. I'll report back when I do the rebuild on this one :)
