Oh wow Dave. I think that Belltower Electro is the vacuum that my grandmother had when I was growing up. I've been trying to find out for years what make it was but have never come across anything like it. Hers had the same floor brush and rug brush as well as all the other tools. I remember the hose was rubber and it screwed into the machine. There were 2 curved wands, a floor tool with a sheepskin like pad on it as well as the dusting brush, crevice tool, ulphostery nozzle, sprayer and a couple of other tools that I have no idea what they were for. It had the same style of plug in cord. Hers was a different colour however - either a light beige or greenish colour with the black trim. I remember all the tools, hose, etc. were kept in a canvas bag with handle - I don't know if it came with the vacuum or if that was just something they added. They kept the bag under the bed (not much closet space in homes in those days) and the vacuum was kept in an old pillow case also under the bed. When I was about 8 years old my mom bought my grandmother a Hoover Constellation and that was the vac she used from then on. The Belltower was just used to clean out the chimney stovepipes from the wood cooking stove in the kitchen. I believe the Belltower belonged to my mom first and then when she got her first Filter Queen she gave the Belltower to my grandmother. It was her first vacuum ever. That would have been in the mid 50s. After university when I moved to Toronto and got my very first apartment my grandmother gave me the Belltower. I used it for a few months but found it very inconvenient to use since the apartment had wood floors and the runners on the vac didn't allow it to move easily. I bought a new Lux AP280 and the Belltower went back to my parent's for their cottage. I don't know what happened to it after that. I have a suspicion they just took it to the dump.
