WOW! What a great find!! Could you please take a clearer and larger photo of the front of the carton, and the other sides if they have similar illustrations on them? Thanks!

The instruction leaflet machine and accesories...

Ok I can throw in two pieces of information. To begin with the hose appears to be from a Goblin Clean Sweep (second picture below). The ends from the original hose, which would have been metal (shown in the third picture - from the net - below), are there though.

Also the series number 527 indicated model 5 - 1927, which would put it as one of the last of the model V (They changed to the model 11 in 1927.

The dusting brush is from a later model of Electrolux (The original would have been wood the same as the one pictured with my model 11 below) and the Floor brush appears to be from a Siroma manufactured machine (Siroma used a triangular nozzle connection with 3 screws while Electrolux used one with only 2, also shown in my picture below)

selling my 1924 electrolux v model

still working, includes original accesories. contact me if interested "ij(at)uc.cl"

Apparently, oicanqimuj has contacted everyone with a working email. I give him kudos for enthusiasm, but I don't appreciate the unsolicited query about buying his vac. Not all Americans have deep pockets (or want) ancient vacs sent from foreign countries with no way to inspect/try out.

He contacted me as well. He wants "only" US$1000 for it.......


 


 

 

[dysonman1]

Contacted me as well. I already have both versions (with removable runners, and without), and mine rune on 120 volts. The one from Chile runs on 240 volts. For $1000, he'd have to deliver it in person to my front door, and convert it to run on American current.

He contacted me too....

Same story, $1000 (or a reasonable offer), and shipping on top of it. I don’t have one, and would love to add one to my collection, but there’s no way I can (or will) ante up that kind of money for one, especially a 220V model that I couldn’t even use without some kind of converter.....

 

[real1shep]

Holy cow!!! He never mentioned a price in his email to me.....good grief.

I w0nder how he got all our email addresses. I thought our profiles were secure.

I think that's what the Pickers on TV would call an 'I don't want to sell it price'.

 

[real1shep]

I wondered about that too.....but I see I have my email in my profile.

I would just about give my right eye for one - a 110 volt version anyway. For me, it ranks right up there with the Hoover model O. But how in the world did one ever wind up in Chile? Wonder if he prefers payment in Bitcoin? Lmao

@ dysonman1

No need for that. You buy a voltage converter unit as a middleman between your outlet and the vacuum.

@ electrolux137

Any member can view user profiles on the site. He likely used a mail bot program that scans a page for emails and then sends the message in bulk to addresses found.

I never got any message though.

That email address domain he used traces back to the Pontifical Catholic University of Santiago Chile. So likely he's just a college student needing some funds, hence the high price tag on it.

n.b., my email address is concealed in my profile. Or so I thought...

 

[real1shep]

That's correct....I don't see it in your profile......wonder how he hacked that and who of us he profiled and why? A little unsettling......

[crazykirbydude]

I've always kind of wanted one of these though.

Unless, he's gotten rid of it lately, your boss has one that's in REALLY nice condition best I could tell. I tried to talk a blue streak to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't budge on it! LOL!

 

[vaclover]

He also contacted me...

He also contacted me, i already have one, not a 1924 model but a 27 model. Sent for Electrolux South Africa. Original cord although not the original hose. Sweet little machines. Mine needs some cleaning and buffing, but for 91 years old i think its in good condition.

Does anyone know when during model V production Electrolux switched from the elephant to the serpents on the rear handle?

 

[electrolux137]

The serpent -- actually the Rod of Asclepius (see link), was used on the 1925 model. The elephant, which was a company icon, was on the earlier 1924 model. I have seen various old Electrolux items such as bookends, etc., with the elephant icon on them.

[vaclover]

Mine still have the elephant

My Model V still has the elephant on the handle its a 1927 model.

 

[oreck_xl]

Thank you for the info Charles. Perhaps only the American version had the serpents on the handle? Does anyone have such version so we can see pictures? Back in the 1980's an Electrolux dealer by my house had a model V in the window. It was the only one I can recall ever seeing in person, and stupid me being a kid at the time never asked if it was for sale. The answer would've probably been "no" anyway, but still.
