I was in my local Goodwill store this afternoon, and came across a Dirt-Digger vac, made in Columbus, Ohio (I think that it was Columbus). Just thought that I would post pics to see if anyone has ever heard of it, or knows its pedigree.

Is it from Royal? Air-Way?

Airway had a model called the Pricilla/pricillas or something similar. Looked almost identical to this!
 
Dirt Digger!

The first Air Way Dirt Digger was a swivel top canister, then the Pricilla was introduced, then this came next,then it later became Handi Way Sani Clean, now its called a Black Night I think.
 
Small observation . . .

The cleaner's body is Electro-Hygiene derived -- which is what AirWay sold as its alternate canister. What confuses me are the attachments. Air-way hose -- yes -- but I did't get a full view of the rug nozzle. Also, the wands appear more to be chromed steel than aluminum.
 
Ruh-roh...

Maybe I should swing by the Goodwill tomorrow, after work and pick the vac up. I think it is selling for $4.99.

Thanks for the great info on this machine!

Attachments!

They used the Air Way S wand, but the rug tool was totally different...and better to my mind, all the other attachments were basically fit all, the floor brush was the same as a Fairfax except adapted for the AirWay type connection.
