[QUOTE="caligula, post: 363325, member: 380"] [b]This is an Arco-Wand.[/b] Hi Kellyn: What you have is indeed rare and needs to go to people who can restore it. I agree, Owen Perkins is the person to contact. If you want the history on vintage built-in vacuum cleaners there are two threads devoted to a company called Spencer, and though not the Arco-Wand, I think that's mentioned somewhere in these threads. Simply go to 'Forum archives' in vintage and click on the year 2008, then scroll down to thread 5115 December 28. Here you'll find the first of two sites on all things built-in. The other can be found in 2009, thread 5157 January 4. Both threads are very long and can't be read in one sitting, but will give you all the data you need to sell these. As to yours, I can't read the actual patent dates, but the patent holder would be David T. Kenny who was famous for designing non electric and early electric machines from 1900 - 1920.
