I attached a link. It's likely 1940s era. They usually have a bag the same color as the color they're painted. Yours would've had either a dark maroon bag or a blue bag. I have a red vac just like it but not sure it's a Westinghouse. I think mines a sweeper vac iirc made indirectly by apex.

1954 Deluxe Ad Here's an ad that shows the Deluxe (silk screened on the bag) that looks like the one originally posted in this thread:

Here's Mine
Westinghouse H-10 Hand Vac. Quite similar to yours except that the housing is shaped differently and it has a different belt cover plate. Think mine might be a bit newer than yours but I'm not sure. Although the bag on mine is beige with red printing, I have also seen them with burgundy or brown bags. Hope this helps.

 Late 1940s/ early 1950s if I remember. They came out after the war I know that much. Not entirely rare as they ran for a good many years. Never seen that one with that model of belt cover cap. I have one that has the rare upright conversion setup, its a goofy contraption and it took me about 10 mins to figure out how the vacuum even goes in it. lol Sadly someone rebristled it with nylon bristles from a toilet brush and they drag down the motor way too much to the point of smelling like burning wires, I need to figure out how to redo it with horsehair. | ||
