P.A. Geier Model 81

Every now and then I find a few oddities and this is one of them. I've never heard of this company before. Maybe someone can share in information on these? I'm quite curious to know!

The machine itself appears to be in relatively good shape however its missing its cord. It would also appear that they jury-rigged a new brush onto the nozzle. Hopefully someone saves and repairs it.

Somebody save this puppy

Wow. This is a valuable piece of history. Love the high tech scrub brush! Very cool!

The brush is a replacement, I think the original would have been a single row of brushes. Crown also had uprights, I've seen and passed on a couple of those.

First, it's a Royal. The word "Crown" was used on their first motor-driven brush upright. The "Crown" hand vac would have been sold instead of, or in addition to, the cleaning tools (hose, brushes, etc.). Many people would have preferred to use the hand held model, as opposed to dealing with disconnecting the belt to use the cleaning tools with the upright.

This is the Crown upright that the Hand Vac would have matched.

I should have known it was a Royal...then again browsing in the late night while running on E didn't help matters either.

Thanks for the information Tom, really appreciate it!
The upright goes really well with the hand vac, a neat pair for sure.
