They were sold mainly in the 60's and sometime into the 70's. I think I have Consumer Distributing catalogs showing them for sale but my printer/scanners pooched. | ||

I had forgotten ! We had one of these GE Sweepers in the 60's when it was first considered the thing to have carpet in your kitchen. I remember the bag was small but it really did the job. Thanks for posting your find. | ||

in the 60's when it was first considered the thing to ha
So this kitchen carpet thing was a fashionable trend? When I bought this house I thought it was the strangest thing I'd ever seen - both the kitchen and the bathroom were carpeted wall to wall! It made no sense to me and my Mother was horrified. To top it off the kitchen carpet was a mottled yellow pattern that looked like a Ham & Eggs Super Omlette. First task was to get those carpets out and fortunately they were not glued down like throughout the rest of the house - glued to pine floors - arghhhhh. The 40's linoleum found underneath, while cracked and chipped in places, remains to this day until a kitchen reno rises to the top of the List of Things to Do - only been 22 years. :-). This Fall it's new garage and side porch roofs that want doing cause they leak badly. Have backed in to the sectional garage door one too many times, it's buckled and split and a pain in the butt to open anymore. Looking for a new lightweight roll up door and have a garage door opener standing by so I can feel like The Green Hornet coming home every day. Winter's coming late this year, but it IS coming...
