Found this guy in a barn

[dcwifarm]

Found this in my (long dead, so I can't ask him) grandpas barn.
From my limited research, it says it is in the range of the years 1890-1920 ish. Would love to narrow it down.
I did not find any manufacturing numbers on it, but also did not look closely. Have found a couple that look similar online, but honestly not a ton.
It still seems to function? Once again, didn't mess with it too much, but when I pumped the handle it was definitely moving air.

It went back in the barn for the forseeable future. It's been in there many decades after all, what's a little longer?

Very cool machine. It definitely deserves to be restored.

Very cool! As for age my educated guess would be around 1910, But I could be wrong. Did it have any attachments? Or just the hose?

You must be close, we ended up finding a sticker on the bottom that said "Rare c.1911 cyclone handpowered vac". I am going to ASSUME whoever put the label on may have had more info than we do now.

It's just the hose. Maybe there were other pieces-if so they are unfortunately in the landfill now (big trash barn clean out).
