Apex canister

Hey all,

Sorry I only have the one crummy picture.
Can anyone tell me about this vacuum?
Approximately how old it is, who made it, were they sold in stores, are they common, etc.
Thanks in advance for any info!

Thanks Hans

I didn't know if the Apex was something rare and/or desirable.
I had never seen one in person.
If these folks won't let me have or buy these neglected vacuums, maybe I'll see if they'll at least let me try to clean them up and play with them a little bit!
