This is an antique House-Maid hand held vacuum cleaner. Model 60. It was made by the Clements manufacturing, the same one who made the Cadillac vacuums (not related to the automobile co.). House Maid was a private label for Clements, as was CoOp. In 1950, Consumer Reports mentioned that there...

yep ! Thanks Ben, I did get the 114967 for my machine. I had to purchase both of these in order to get the one I needed. This is the one I didn't need and didn't know what model it would fit, until now. Thank you very much.

I have a new Kirby armature that I got as a package deal when I purchased a new armature for my dual sanitronic 50. I used the one for the dual sanitronic 50 in my machine but I have no use for the remaining armature. It is not for a dual sanitronic 50. It has a code on it that says 12062. Nov...

Yes ........ ozhoover; Yes I plan on putting it on ebay but it's going to be a week or so before I can get to it. I'm thinking about offering a discount to individuals from this site if they use a code that I will post on this site. I'm pretty busy the last few weeks and I have to kind of catch...

Thats it ..... Wow, I think you nialed it. A Clements House Maid. I did find a larger vacuum by that name and the castings are the same (except for the size). Thank you very much! You guys are truly a library of information !!!!

I didnt think of that I didnt think of that, I was estimating the shipping based on the assembled size. I will have to figure out what should be done to minimize the size of the package. Thanks for the heads up on that, I don't know why I didn't even think about that. I guess I was thinking...

I am planning to move and have decided that I cannot start collecting more and was planning on putting a few vacs on ebay and craigslist but I found that shipping this vac would cost around $75 to $100 by fedex. Here's what Im wondering, I looked at ebay sellers with vintage vacs for sale...

Unkown The only reference to where it was made is on the tag showing "Made in the USA". No other names or marks except the technical data shown. That Ausi ad is really cool, I wonder if it is the same company? To bad there isn't a pic. The Wards shield is kind of what I was thinking at first...

I just picked this up at a garage sale for $2 but I have no idea what it is. There is no name other than the "House Maid" on the bag. The tag has no patent numbers either and no makers name. The front has a emblem that look familiar? Any ideas? It works perfectly, I just cleaned it up and...

Holt ....... who goes there? Here are a few more pics of the Holt floor sander. I took some of the motor plate, unit plate, and an overall look. I did find one pic on line of a Holt tractor that had the arrow through the name so now Im not sure if Pullman-Holt was the maker or if Holt...

ronni; Im glad you enjoyed the Holt sander, I will get more pics tomorrow as it is burried right now and I can't get to it. The sanding is done by an 11" drum. The front lifts up to access. As far as I can tell, the Pullman-Holt company made these but Information is very hard to find since...
