Hi folks, here's what came in today !
It's a great hand-held vacuum produced in USA I suppose in the late 1930's - early 1940's ( anyone has a precise date ? ).
I have noticed it has been produced in different color-schemes but the main body is dark bakelite. It has a revolving brush (!) and the action is given with a rubber belt. It does not have the "beating bar", probably "someone else's" patent. It has an astonishing streamlined design and is not bigger then the more common HOOVER DUSTETTE.
I saw in another thread that also a handle was available for this model, transforming in a ( really small ) stick-vacuum !
This cute little machines seem to be still quite easy to find on the USA market and really cost few bucks ( usually sold between 10 / 20 dollars maximum.
A real LITTLE WONDER !
