Yes, very interested. You know this is exactly the kind of thing I collect. Pictured in the far upper right, left of the Regina is it's younger brother. Did you get a price? Send me an email. If it's in the budget, then I want it.

Still stuck in Arizona, but if all goes well will be in Connecticut by fall. Fingers crossed.

I can check again.

I believe it was 100.

I get paid on the 3rd. If I send you a money order then, could you hold it till I get to Pennsylvania to clear out the storage unit?

I wasn't sure if you were having a stroke or just trying to get a point across about the bad grammar, spelling, etc. that you run across on this site.

Glad you're OK

That horizontal brush design is quite peculiar…

It’s also quite reminiscent of the horizontal brush machine from Racine Corporation, aka Host Carpet Cleaner. I wonder if it’s more than a coincidence, since both companies are in Racine Wisconsin.

We can't buy Johnson's Floor Wax for domestic use here in the UK anymore. There were just too many accidents in the home on newly-polished floors, followed by visits to A & E for broken bones. So the government banned it.
I think it's still available in liquid form for commercial use though.

I believe I have a Sears clone of one of these. It's very old. Back when Sears used their "world largest store" moniker.

You don't see many collectors pursuing floor polishers. I think they are neat little "toys", if I see one cheap I add it into my collection just for novelty.

I got a junky GE one from the 1950s to scrub and wash my concrete basement floor with, granted that was not it's intended purpose (it was already run down anyway with the brushes flat-spotted so it can't hurt it) and wow what a difference it made!

These old ones here though I believe you can still use them on sealed or unsealed floors with blocks of paste wax (if you can find anyone that sells it).

that's

the one!
