Vintage Royal Hand-Pump Vac

[corgor]

Hello everyone,

I recently came upon a Royal vacuum that caught my attention...it is non-electric and is operated by a hand pump. It is a dark green and a little over three feet tall. I will upload some pictures soon; until then, does anyone know anything about this model? I can tell its older; would love to know a year or any other info you may have! Thanks!

Awesome!

I have seen vacuums similar to that one under antique vacuum on ebay. I think the way it works is you push the main part across the floor while holding the handle in the same spot and therefore simultaniously creating a vacuum to suck up the dirt. That is a cool find! I would like to find one too.
