[bee-vac]

Trying to make some room. Let me know if anyone is interested, thank you!

Hmm

What year is this model. How much are you asking.

This vacuum is from 1920. It was Air-Way's first vacuum cleaner. It just turned 100 years old this year.

I paid $50 for mine in 2018 in "found in a garage attic" condition (no front wheels, some moth chewing on bag, frayed cord, warped wheels).

Interestingly I have the first model, from 1920. It has a black painted rear wheel bracket, a very primitive swivel and a black painted nozzle tube, and three outer bag closers that hung from the handle.

The Air-Way in the picture that's for sale is from the late 1920's. Nice looking machine and the outer bag is in great condition.

do you happen to have the felt pad attachment that goes on this? I have one too...possibly a little later in production than yours....has the black bag instead. I might be interested in it though

 

[lesinutah]

Hmm

Why do people ask if anyone is interested. I expressed interest and nothing. If you aren't going to reply why post? Im now not interested.

It's only been 3 days, give him time.

 

[lesinutah]

Hmm

Sorry if I came off rude. I apologise I got sick again.
I noticed listings and nobody follows up. Kelton is better candidate for this vacuum.

SORRY LES!!!

Its in my storage unit, I'll see what model this one is next time I go. I picked up a user's guide that seems to have the same model in the illustrations and it was dated in 1928 or 29. No I dont have the felt attachment for this. Being that shipping will be crazy for this, I'd be willing to take $40 for it. You guys are fellow vacuum enthusiasts and I'm happy to see this go to someone that will take good care if it. I would be willing to take a trade for this too, less the $40, and we would mainly just pay for shipping.

Airway vacuum

Is it for sale still??

 

[lesinutah]

Maybe

Try emailing him. His airway isn't polished but it's in good shape. The globe that's always broke is intact.

[bee-vac]

Yes

Hello, yes I still have it Countryboydb. I haven't been able to get down to my storage unit. Most all business are closed out here in LA county.

 

[lesinutah]

Hmm

If he doesn't get it I'd be interested. I have slot of sweet vacuums or cash.
Im pretty sure he's going to get it.

Almost

Positive that in another thread he got contacted by country boy.
Les

 

[rivstg1]

Countryboy may have tried to contact him like I did. I wonder if anyone has heard back from him?
