I bought this wacky cleaner some time ago but since I got my bench polisher recently it got the treatment! I just love shiny machines!

With the G.E. corp. logo, the Kenney patent tag,
and side air slots on the motor housing, I'm
guessing your Eclipse dates from 1915-1920?
If you ever get tired of it, I've got a nice place for it!

Does the label give an indication of the company who made it? Obviously, it's based on the Frantz Premier, which was Jim Kirby's first production model vacuum cleaner. In 1918, GE bought Frantz Premier. Frantz Premier then became Apex. Wondering if it was made by GE (the "new" Premier) or Frantz?

The label states Manufactured For Eclipse Machine Company in Sidney,Ohio. There is a key on the underside of it that when turned releases the nozzle. I assume its a hookup for attachments or something.
