Wanted - 1930s Kenmore "Model 19" Upright Vacuum

[kwalsh97214]

I want to buy a 1930s Kenmore (Sears) Model 19 upright vacuum.

See photo below from the Sears catalog. Also below is a photo of this vacuum model from a Facebook Marketplace posting a few months ago.

This is the Sears economy model; produced for a few years during the mid-1930s.

Thanks and wish me luck.

Congratulations on a beautiful bargain

Thanks for your posting and photos. Your Kenmore looks really nice and gives me hope.

To everyone else:
I apologize for posting my wanted ad in the wrong section of this site. I meant to post it in the Supermarket section but something went wrong and when I noticed my error it was too late to delete it and re-post it correctly.

Kenmore made by Britman

The Kenmore's were made by Britman for Sears, I believe my Apollo was also made by Britman and this Apollo is the same as the Kenmore model 19. I would also like to find one to go with my Kenmore Deluxe, and Kenmore Jr. Deluxe.

Thanks Jim.

Great info and photos.

I will search for either an Apollo or Kenmore -- I guess that gives me twice the chance of finding one of these elusive machines.

Nobody said this would be easy.
