Oh, wow - yeah, nothing like that on mine at all!

Ben: That you do! I'm a bit west of you, in Washington county. Caligula: Oh, interesting! I imagine I can find this with a bit of searching, but is it feasible to put a Sani-em-tor on this vacuum now, or am I stuck with paper bags?

I'm not finding a metal box - I do see where the paper bag is connected, it's got a thin plastic ring holding it in place (where I've seen newer vacuums having a cardboard) to a short hose of sorts that continues to the visible bit you see in my picture. I can't find anything matching your...

d-jones: I didn't even think of looking on the bottom! It's definitely a 505! It also specifies it's a 110 volt. Bikerray: I can try to get some more photos for you soon, though I'm not sure what an emptor is - can you clarify? Is it something you hook the internal bag to, or the cloth bag?

Yeah, I dig the bag - it's a shame it's so faded. I'm sure it could use a wash. I'm hoping if I can narrow down the model, I can figure out how to take some of the pieces off - I'm slightly terrified of ruining it!

I've been trying to figure out what model this is, it seems like it might be a 505 with a 115 handle, but I'm not positive. We don't know anything about its origins (...or about vintage vacuums, to be honest).
