I heard these have really good suction! Also it looks like it might have the manual even.

it's called a sunbeam dual deluxe and it one of the most powerful vintage vacuums ever made

That's the sunbeam that will.suck the wLl paper off the wall. It's over 100 comments beating the beast made by apex.
Thanks for confirming the details.

Love pancakes. I ate one a few months ago about the size of a.anhole cover with snickers chunks.
Why do they throw in crappy vacuums with it. It Jack's shipping up.
Mummy pancakes.

oh man!

I didn't think it was a dual deluxe I saw it and went oh it's probably a touch and lock, but nope! it does look like it was. I'm kicking myself for not looking more closely I would have definitely bid on it!

No shipping though. You have to drive all the way to Pennsylvania to pick it up, plus 10% buyer's premium, plus 7% sales tax (for my state), plus 3% fee for paying with a credit card - so over 20% in sales fees tacked on before you even buy it plus driving over 475 miles to get it. Foooorrrrrr-get it!

Charles L Baker was an antiques collector and hoarder though so if you wanna see more what he had there's a auction catalog here

I like knowing the stories behind who owned the vacuums I buy and what they did, makes the vacuums more personable and special IMO.

Those Sunbeam cleaners had enough airflow to be able to offer the first air-driven turbo carpet nozzle for canisters. I wonder what kind of motor provided such amazing airflow in a 1950's vacuum.

Small high powered one that wore out fairly quickly maybe?
