    Grandma Jeannette's Electrolux Olympia One

    Attachments... I do have the original wands and the matching flipover rug and floor nozzle, as well as the dusting brush. My father told me that he used this vacuum for a brief period of time before putting it into the attic, and had stopped using it because the suction was poor and he was...
