Does anyone know how old this attachment is, or what machine it came with. Based on its crude design I would guess a model V or even earlier....

There you go! Don't you just LOVE Google Patents? :-D

I myself thought it was one of the first vacuum nozzles, but I wasn't convinced since it had that strange shape to it.
