I Agree--Love Picture Threads!
Hans and Tom, you both have some great machines there. And vintage machines are my favorites! Some I've never seen before, such as the Nilfisk, Firestone, Cadillac, and the odd-shaped Wards/Eureka tank. Also saw several I have, including the 84 and 858 Connies, Hoover 63, Electro-Hygiene 966 tank, C3 GE, Filter Queen 350, Revelation C2 (except mine is green instead of blue), Royal 801, and AirWay 55.
In keeping with the spirit of this thread, hope you don't mind if I post a few. For starters, here's my Westinghouse upright, model F1-46, with attachments. This is a great running vac, has good hose suction, but brushroll is shot. Hans, i think it may be a little older or newer than the older on you posted, but I'm not sure.

Westinghouse SC-1 Cannister. Belonged to my Aunt, whose husband had worked at Westinghouse most of his life. Got it when they went into assisted living.

Electro-Hygiene 2-230
The last Electro-Hygiene straight suction upright, made in 1954. It was followed by the model 285 with revolving brush. A great running machine, it is complete except for crevice tool, floor brush, and instruction book.

Eureka model G-2
Think it's from the 30's, runs great, wish I had attachments for it.

Kenmore Tank model 116.730
My parents had one of these that they used in the basement and to clean out the car when I was a kid. The prrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeennn sound it made when turned on used to startle me when I was little, now I look forward to hearing it.

Hoover 700
I really love "coffee can" Hoovers and have 10 of them. My 700 is all original and has attachments and instruction book.

I love...
Vintage vacuums. They are so much more satisfying to use than the "disposable" machines.

What lovely machines! I'd love some of these American vacuums over here 
Of Course
Nothing concerning vintage vacuums would be complete without the incomparable Apex Strato Cleaner from 1957, Model 5555,150.00 new, I think that is one reason you never see them, they were a store vac priced higher than many of the door to door vacs.You can tell this is one of my most prized possessions, I hunted over 17 years to find it!
