Happy Friday ! working on my 1920s Non electric Kwick Klean. Bag was all faded . Not anymore ! Kwick Klean was sold at Sears , it was a generic Vacuette model made by a subsidiary of the Scott and Fetzer co.

Too bad the Knick Kleen didn't work nearly as well as the wireless Vacuette. They are very interesting machines.

Thank you Jeff !
@dysonman ,those are awesome machines in your collection . It’s true, the Vacuette works a little better but I feel that neither really do a good job lol

Oh wow I always thought you had to cover the logos on things when dying them? It looks like the dye didn't hurt the logo at all.

Amazing how much that bag faded. You could have told me it was supposed to be gray and I'd have believed it.

Woops, Time to Check the Bag!!!
Either you need to change your vacuum bag or you forgot to LOG-IN?
