Electrolux 30 knockoff part??

[reo580]

Here is an interesting floor brush for a Lux 30.
It doesn't have the Gleaner Strip, Gleaner adjustment lever, or any trim on the top intake.
I have to admit: I think it is a pretty floor tool.
I really like the lines of it.

Think this is a vintage vac-store brand knockoff from back in the day?

Floor tool.

It's from one of the early models made in Sweeden, either a model V (5), XI (11), or XII (12). As I have one of these I'll find the exact model and year and let you know.[this post was last edited: 1/23/2016-21:42]

Taking a closer look at this tool it might have gone to the model XX (20) a short-lived model introduced just before WW11, I'm guessing 1943, but don't quote me. The design is that of Gustf E. Lofgren head of the engineering department of Electrolux. There were dozens of designs of this tool over the years 1937-about 1955 with models XXX (30) through the last of the model LXI's (61). Again, as I don't have the paperwork in front of me (it's all in boxes in the basement) so I'm guessing.
