vacuum cleaner " The Clarke Vac- All"

[locace]

Hello ,
I am French and I work in Brussels. For now , I enjoy the sun of Provence .
Approximate excuse my English .
I own a vacuum cleaner " The Clarke Vac- All" .
I found nothing on the net.
I think it dates from the 1920s .
Can you tell me about this vacuum cleaner ?
Thank you in advance

Jean-Luc

I've never heard of or seen one of these, but it's very cool looking! It looks like a large hand-held with an upright handle. Very unique!

Excerpts:


 


[COLOR=#231f20; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22.4px]"Through the mid-20’s demand increased, and Clarke added a handle to his sander for use in wood floor restoration. He also added a line of vacuum machines to the existing sander products to make quick work of jobsite clean-up"[/COLOR]
