Jay,
The very first of these Health-Mor Sanitation Systems were built in 1928 and 1929 by Scott & Fetzer, and were simply Scott & Fetzer Sanitation Systems rebadged with the Health-Mor name. In 1930, Health-Mor (who at the time was the Chicago, IL-based distributor of the Scott & Fetzer Sanitation System) wanted more control over its design, so it parted ways with Scott & Fetzer and joined P.A. Geier (then the makers of Royal) for a new version of the Sanitation System, which lasted until 1939. ~Ben | ||

You have a nice machine, built by Royal. They sold tons of them, but we don't see too many left today. I love mine.

 I have one of these too but it's in pieces. Seller was parting it out and I had to buy all the pieces individually and put it back together. And then on top of that one of the wheels busted in half in shipping (thrown in a box with no packaging). I need to figure out how to glue it with a good epoxy that's safe for that old material. The bag was gone - but wouldn't you know it a modern commercial Royal bag fit it just perfectly. I couldn't believe it! It also still has its original cord with the porcelain plug end. It also came from the Chicagoland area. I read that these were exclusively sold door to door in Chicago only, so that must be why they stayed in that area. | ||
