Got myself a <font color=light maroon>ROYAL

[vac_whisperer]

I don't know i this belongs in the vintage forum or not. It's a Royal Handvac. Just picked it up a few hours ago! Runs real nice and im very impressed with it. According to the plate on the bottom, its a model 5000. I was wondering, what year would this be from? And can you use these without a paper bag?

Thanks, VW
