All of these machines/parts have in one way or another been restored by me in one way or another. I will leave it up to the experts such as Alex etc. to give a time-line of these items. I've been told I am not an expert!
Early stamped steel, chrome plated dusting brush and bare floor tool. Shown with them, the optional suction control that would go between the hose handle and wand or tool.
LX tools just for the heck of it...plastic parts. Also shown is the famous "Tuftor". Many discussions about the Tuftor back in the good old days on here...
The rare Bakelite XXX rug tool. I call it the "blackout" model. Completely restored by myself (you should have seen the "before" pics). The aluminium parts are painted a dull gray just as cars' trim parts were painted in 1942 just before civilian production ceased for the war effort. I guess we didn't want the Germans to see the bright polished aluminium reflecting light as we vacuumed. Not that the XXX isn't completely covered with the stuff....
