Vac'n Blo

[petek]

Found this little gem on the shelves of the Restore this morning. I almost walked right on by. The label says made for Aerostat Industries Vac'n Blo by Metropolitan Vacuum Co NY.. Metro still sells this little vac new in stainless steel, this ones orange painted steel. No sure who Aerostat was,, can't seem to find any reference upon googling the name.
Has a handy shoulder strap, there were no hoses or attachments. I just put that generic vinyl hose on it.

Yes, Pete! Years ago, in the late 70's I amanged a Jo Ann
fabric store. They sent me one of those (in Black,home office)
to use in cleaning under counters and drawers and displays.
It did an ok job, for a commercial need.
It had a black short hose and all black attachments.

Great find Pete, Metro vac still makes one like this and they aren't cheap. I am sure you will be able to retro fit attachments for it.
