Crown 450 Canister Vacuum

I just got this machine yesterday from a friend of mine. I don't know much about it other than the fact it's a Royal. I'll eventually post a video of it up close.

Congratulations, Alex—looks great ... and complete!

I attempted to locate some information for you but found none.

Looking forward to the vid of it.

Must be rare then. Nice find, looks mint.

Nice find Alex! These were actually built for Royal by Kingston. Besides Crown, they were also built with the Royal, Regal, Electro-Hygiene, and Royalaire names on them, and there is currently one on ebay with the Royalaire name on it. You have an interesting mix of attachments with it too! The rug nozzle and the floor brush directly in front of it and dust brush are from the 60's or newer, while the other floor brush and upholstery nozzle look to be from the mid to late 50's. The polisher is somewhat rare, and I have no idea where the red suds shooter on the sprayer came from, never seen one like that before! Looking forward to your video.

Interesting.

Were these exclusive to Canada?

That would be a possibility.
