Well here is a fascinating none electric vacuum by Kwick Kleen , I believe it was designed by Jim Kirby , early 1920’s?

Does anybody here have any info on this sweeper ?
It’s very similar to the original Vacuette model B with the rectangle bag opening in back

Any info will help

Yes it’s not a Vacuette but I’m sure it uses a couple of Jim Kirby’s patents , it says it was manufactured for /sold at sears. But again I’m not sure ..

I have a wireless Vacuette , the one that Kirby company claims was the 1919 version the wireless Vacuette type with the logo of the tower and a brass triangular name plate . It is actually a later version that came out mid 1920s and was sold through the 1930s .

I have attached the articles that show the original model from 1919 which I believe is a Model B and a model c vacuette from 1923 , the B has a similar bag attachment as with this Kwick-Kleen .

I would love to see one of those original Vacuettes 😍😍

Vacuette you have there. The original wireless vacuette was Frantz premier.
I swear I asked if the kwick kleen was a vacuette or kirby and was shot down in flames.
Im attaching a thread its mentioned in it being a Jim kirby vacuum. Idk.
I have a vacuette electric with the yellow model plate in mid restoration.
