Friction and other
Too funny....I have the same 2 friction vacs you have....
I posted pics:
1 - Vital friction vac made in Cleveland patent date 1917..love that one
Vital made another one before this one that I'd like to get someday
2 - Sanitary Special made by Marvel (thanks to you for the ID on it)
3 - Victoria sweeper made in Milford, Ohio....it is very well made with brass
all over it...the base is nice Mahogany wood
4 - Bissell sweeper ...not made any where near as well as the Victoria
5 - Doty bellows type vacuum....the bellows actually go up and down as the
wheels turn....very cool to see in action
6 - Golden Rod plunger type vacuum made by the Hugro Manuf. Co. in Chicago
7 - Reeves vacuum (plunger type) made in Milford, CT
The plunger types actually create suction but a broom and dust pan would be much
easier to operate.
I'm looking for more friction types....the Wireless vac. by Kirby that just sold on eBay went for more than I was willing to part with....it would have fit nicely
in my collection though.

Hoover
I thought Hoover made a friction powered vacuum. I remember seeing a YouTuber I follow showed it. He got it from Mike baldo.
I could be wrong. I have no friction powered vacs or even friction powered toy cars either.

I love the doty
I think you are talking about the presto but am not sure. I actually have a few carpet sweepers as well as a shell of a Superior pumper.
In order:
Torrington Utility (1915)
National Monarch(late 1800s)
Bissell Silver Streak(1930s)
Hugro bellow vac(19??)
Superior

Wireless vacuette is the friction powered vacuette. The wired vacuette has a power cord.
The friction powered and wireless are not 2 different models they're one in the same.
I'd love any vacuette. The one on eBay sold for $700 and it's condition wasn't great. I hope the bank account will get larger because vacuettes aren't getting any cheaper.
