[Almytyt]

I have a Singer model P - 21. Is anyone interested in it? I can post video or pics. It is complete other than the tank cap. I also have spare pads.
Thank you
David

If any other pics wanted let me know. I will post the other pads when I locate them. I also have another singer vacuum head not sure what it goes to.

Here is a survey of Singer US Rug Cleaning Floor Polisher; marketed from 1960 to 1969:

1960
P-21 Deluxe
P-2 Economy

1964
P-3 "Twin-Six" designed by Henry Dreyfuss (Twin Brushes for 1-Polishing 2-Buffing 3-Scrubbing 4-Cleaning 5-Shampooing 6-Waxing)

1966
P-23 Deluxe - 2-Speed with headlight

I know of no other company that used something like Singer's "Wax Packs". As the scan is unclear, the procedure states:

1. Just spoon wax into zippered bag.
2. Snap on over polisher brushes.
3. Wax applied evenly through openings.​

It seems to me that the P-2, P-21, and P-23 were rebranded Shetland-Lewyts, which were discontinued in 1972 or so.

Two P-21 instruction manuals are currently listed at eBay:

That tin on the back is very cool.

There was also a canister attachment, Vac Polisher model B-4, that was introduced in 1962; an empty carton of which is also currently listed at eBay (photo 1)

Very cool canister design and attachments.

I wonder if the "vacuum head" is the Vac Polisher attachment I referenced in post 12?

It appears that the P-21 is missing the liquid dispenser cap.

Agreed—I'm pretty sure that the ones shown in the advertising I posted here are Eureka rebrands tailored for Singer.

Is it a 1- or 2-speed?

Ad for P1-F & P-23

CA had the model P1-F that appears to the be same as the US P-2.

Thank you Paul.

You're welcome. I would think that the floor nozzle would be compatible with a variety of makes and models; although I am unfamiliar with Singer to know if it used common fittings.

And as I suggested to another poster who is attempting to sell his floor polisher, you may need to wait awhile for an offer; so until then it would be a good idea to "bump" the thread every now and then to keep it in readers' minds. It may be that a disinterested member would find a non-participant that is, or that person would become interested in time. So hang in there.

It will sell at some point.
