I assume this is the purple model although it appears to be dark gray.

Obviously that's a replacement hose.

Any way you look at it, the seller has stars in his/her eyes.

It’s definitely a purple sanitizor. Right before the war. They better throw away that white bag, it will kill that machine. It looks like it was only used in someone’s home. It actually appears to be in very nice condition. I’ll make no comment on the price. If someone were to take the time to buff the aluminum, that machine could be a gem. The attachments turn up all the time. It’s in Allentown Pennsylvania, sitting in what looks like a beauty shop. Maybe the ladies used it there to dry their hair? Who knows. if I didn’t already have one in the box…..

"This Air-Way is also the Purple 55 fire hydrant style that every vacuum collector wants."


Looks like they spent some hours trolling vacuumland before listing it.

And to think I used to live in Allentown, Pa.!

Purple Air-Way "55" with the correct hose and cord.

That is a lovely color. I had no idea they did such "Radical" colors of vacuum cleaners that early. Ironic it's the same color purple as the early Shark Navigator lol
