I just LOVE any swivel top...I found this in Lenoir, a family moved from up North and brought this with them....the date on the motor is Oct 55...Thanks to Tania for the instruction book, dolly and tools, I had never seen one of these or even heard of Thompson and Sons, they were not sold in the south.

Great Machines!
Nice Jet 99, and I especially love the Silver Knight! If I remember right it was a more popular priced model that sold next to the TOL Silver King. There actually was a Silver King store in Mansfield when I was a kid and they offered both machines.
I also remember our former next door neighbors who moved to a farm when I was about 4. Shortly after they moved, they bought a new Silver Knight and showed it to us the next time we visited with them. Unfortunately, they lost it and everything else in a house fire a couple years later.

I dont know Terry, but it is a funny contraption,you put oil of whatever...I think eucalyptus on it,plug it in to the outlet on the side of the cleaner,let it get hot,then there is a slot in the side that you turn to the blower,when you do air is forced thru the body and a cloud of vapor comes out,I mean a VISIBLE cloud...everyone who sees it howls with laughter!

The Jet 99 and Silver King look like REALLY nice machines-Isn't Silver King Still around?-A DTD brand.

I really like the Jet, and the Knight with that vaporizer attachment sure is something.

Silver King
Last I knew they were still around and had a website as well. Think it was SilverKing.com but I'm not sure. And their plant is no longer in Illinois, but Kansas or Nebraska if I remember right.

"SILVER KNIGHT"
Hello everyone out there in Vacuumland !
This is the "Silver Knight" and "Silver King" expert!
That was a gizmoe called the "Vaporizoer" which was attached to the exhaust port and would send glycol vapor into the air for Purification. It was very effective back in the 1940s'/50s' ...That was Thompson and Sons' invention and they were located in Lyons, IL from 1940-1987 when they sold out to Craig Leerburg in Colorado Springs, CO . "Silver King" is now manufactued there and they only make the Professional model -73B-2....Very Powerful Machine!!
