Yes, very interested. You know this is exactly the kind of thing I collect. Pictured in the far upper right, left of the Regina is it's younger brother. Did you get a price? Send me an email. If it's in the budget, then I want it.
Still stuck in Arizona, but if all goes well will be in Connecticut by fall. Fingers crossed. Alex Taber.

That horizontal brush design is quite peculiar… It’s also quite reminiscent of the horizontal brush machine from Racine Corporation, aka Host Carpet Cleaner. I wonder if it’s more than a coincidence, since both companies are in Racine Wisconsin. | ||

I believe I have a Sears clone of one of these. It's very old. Back when Sears used their "world largest store" moniker.
You don't see many collectors pursuing floor polishers. I think they are neat little "toys", if I see one cheap I add it into my collection just for novelty. I got a junky GE one from the 1950s to scrub and wash my concrete basement floor with, granted that was not it's intended purpose (it was already run down anyway with the brushes flat-spotted so it can't hurt it) and wow what a difference it made! These old ones here though I believe you can still use them on sealed or unsealed floors with blocks of paste wax (if you can find anyone that sells it).
