Ford Vacuum

[countryguy]

I have never heard of a Ford but it looks very similiar to the vacuum that my grandmother had when I was a kid in the early 60s. It looks similiar to the Swiffa? (is that the correct name/spelling?).

Ford vacuums were made by Ruton in Holland for the Ford Sewing Machine company in Canada about 1950. I am told that some Ford auto dealerships also bought them from the Ford Sewing Machine Co and used them as premiums when you bought a new car because of the name.

I really

just love the design! The blue and chrome go together very nicely. The shape of the body is different than anything I've seen, though.
