Almost looks like a cross between the 1910's Elite, and the Frantz Premier. Anyone out there have one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/311782204547?hash=item4897aae483:g:PigAAOSw2xRYfjyP

Looks like an Ohio Tuec

You may be on the right track
The "diagram" in the ad says the switch is in the grip, while the switch on both the 1911 Ohio and the Tuec were on the base. The 1911 had a pull chain by the motor, and the Tuec had a handle fork operated switch, as shown here:
I'd love to see an example, or even a more descriptive ad for one. Seems pretty rare.

Maybe the first pic in this article? I do not see a thumb screw on the front, though. https://sites.google.com/site/moderneraknowledge/modern-era-authors

Interesting that they advertise a price for a lot of 3. I wonder if they were aiming it more towards janitorial use or something.

"-lot of 3-"
That is probabably a page from the huge catalogs for hardware and other type stores in towns both large and small.

The Rayvac is the very first model of Frantz Premier. I got the machine from Stan Kann himself as well as a vintage ad for it. Stan's didn't have a bag so he put one on it from a Cadillac. Very primitive machine.
The video of Stan and his two Ohio cleaners was taken during the convention of the VCA (vacuum collectors association) in 2007. I was there. In fact, tons of my friends were there too. I saw Stan every Sunday then, and scheduled that fun tour of his collection for my friends to experience. He was one of a kind.

Stan Kann's Frantz Premier. The first model.
Wow, that is cool
Looks just like the vac drawn in replies 18 and 19 in this thread, which was made by Clements. Maybe some collaboration went on with Jim Kirby? https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?41530_27
