Breurs Tornado Auto Vacuum Age? Info? Interest?

So my grandfather gives me this old auto vac. Anyone have any idea the age of this vac? Runs, but bearings need major lubrication. Surprisingly the cord is in pretty good shape, soft and pliable, and is only torn where it enters the motor body. Any interest or info? Thanks!

Lets see.... It looks like it could be about early 1930's, Im guessing. I dont think that cord is original, though- typically cords from that era are thread-woven. I could be wong, though. I have a 1932 Kenmorethat looks similar to that.
