Unknown vintage vacuum

[brumpo97]

My uncle swiped this vacuum from an estate sale 10ish years ago. I understand it’s vintage but after a looking around online I could not find a trace of it online. I checked out the vacuum cleaner subreddit and they directed me here. Any information or a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated!

1910s 2 person bellow vac. Missing the pump handle, bag door/hose port, cloth bag, and hose. Not worth a ton but nice as a display piece.

This seems to have been a rebrandable vacuum cleaner as it went by the name "Lakeside" too. Same exact unit.

What’s it’s worth?

I’m not really looking to keep it and if it’s not worth anything then I planned on throwing it out.

Why would you throw away an over 100 year old antique vacuum cleaner?

Lakeside.

I happen to have one complete with hose, two wands, and the pumping handle. I got mine in June of 1974, and it works great. Hose not shown.

I have no where to store it and I’m not really in a place to collect anymore. I was trying to figure out if it’s worth selling, but if not I have no use for it, not a place to store and keep it. I understand now that’s it’s vintage but I can’t really do anything with it unfortunately

Just put it on craigslist and offerup for free.

I got mine years ago from the late, great, Stan Kann.
