Info on the Hatch and Goeser.
The Hatch and Goeser was the first electric tank style vacuum cleaner and like the one pictured above had huge wheels but there was a swivel caster in back. As far as I know the upright handle was not detachable as was the floor nozzle. Also aside from the hose, I have no idea of the wands and tools though I'm sure they were part of it. Basically it looked like the Electrolux model VII (11) but with monster wheels.
As to the Hatch and Goeser, here's the info I have. It was invented in 1909 by Tracy Barbour Hatch and Edwin Walter Goeser, both of Los Angeles, California and the date filed was September 27, 1909 with the patent granted on January 10, 1910.
Vacuum cleaners were in their infancy back then, motors were huge and a machine of this nature would be very expensive. I've only seen one and that was at the Hoover Historical Center in Ohio, back in 1980. Somewhere in my files I have a picture and when I find it will post it.
I'm guessing that it didn't sell well, or that it was overtaken with the flood of other vacuum cleaners a few years later, or perhaps was bested by the early Hoovers like the model O. At any rate the inventors didn't run with it, or didn't contest other inventors like Axle L. Wenner-Gren who started Electrolux.
Still yours looks very close to the Hatch and Goeser. If there are patent dates on the underside of the machine this will help me zero in on the needed data. Also name of manufacturer and so on. The fact that it has the handle strap on top indicates that there was no pole handle and again could rule out the Hatch and Goeser.
I'm grasping at straws here, but maybe, just maybe they are one and the same.
