This is NOT a Whilwind, it's a leasure.
The Whirlwind was an upright, hand crank vacuum cleaner. It was made in Chicago, in the summer of 1869. Patent date was June 8, 1869. The leisure was made in Bradford, Pennsylvania around 1900. How do I know? because I have a Whirlwind which is pictured here.
