Commander Imperial Tank Vacuum Cleaner

This is intriguing, it has Aeoliandave written all over it. Appears to be all original. It's in Raytown, MO, home of Thelma Harper.

Oh, that's what it says on it!

I tried blowing it up but I still couldn't read it. Thanks Alan!!!

I believe that's the very first Commander tank - but the hose is a replacement, from the later maroon model.

If it is the first one, it's older (cir.1939) than the seller thinks it is.

That's even better

Thanks Charles, such a design even from that time period. Who made them and about how long were they around?
