Not sure if this vacuum was sold or not...I'm checking with the seller.
I've never seen one like this before....maybe it's rare ?

It's an industrial blower / vacuum. tbh, I'm not really sure why any industry needs a $1000 electric leaf blower, but given that they've been selling them for over 100 years, somebody keeps buying them. Also, because they cost so much new, people like to list them on ebay for $500 or so, even when they're in crap condition. They never seem to sell. I wonder why >_>
Also, also, the people running the company now are a bunch of a-holes. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Hmm
The item in picture looks rough. If it's a 60 year old blower vacuum I'd pass. If anyone used it for an extended period of time you have to imagine it's been rode hard put away wet. I have a Toro 2015 version in plastic and it's impellor is metal. It doesn't suck much or blow. I have 2 backpack leaf blowers that move leaves.
If it were a vacuum it's desirable. Blower vacuum you may be lucky it's gone as it's been beat up. You would need replacement parts and you couldn't find any.
Id stick to vacuums and not yard equipment.

Just go back there and ask if they still have it. Don't just assume that once a sale ends it's gone that day. It's likely still sitting in the garage if you want it that badly. I can't imagine anyone would buy it.
I bought one of those Cadillac blower-vacuum years ago from Grainger-didn't cost 1k.Still have it.

I saw the vacuum listed on an estate sale website but the sale had already ended.
I did contact the people running the sale...they responded back that it was gone
and that anything that didn't sell went in to a dumpster and was hauled away.
It doesn't really fit my collection but I thought it was unusual.
