Kenmore Kenkart? Canister

[vacman117]

I think this is a Kenkart at least. My dad saw this in an old lady's basement and asked about it and she said that I could have it. She said her husband bought it brand new for her 1940 as a wedding present. I really do not think this is from 1940 though. It runs, but the bearings sound pretty bad. It came with 3 wands, dusting brush, and a bare floor tool. It really is a neat vacuum!
