I think this is what the RCA Whirlpool canister evolved into.'Celoc' was also a name on the last brown mid 60s RCA WP.The above could be from early 90s.

I've had a couple of those, retaining one for my collection. They're not a bad vacuum, had the Big Foot power nozzle which was used on several vacuums and central systems as well. If I recall, one of the Whirlpool made Kenmore's bags fits it. I worked for Oreck, so I have some original. Like many canisters of that period though, it's like pulling around a cocktail table behind you. I have the later Dutchtech 1400 which I love, with the Wessel-Werk power nozzle, and I love it. It was definitely an improvement in many ways. I believe it was a Phillips made vacuum. These are an oddity, and not badly priced for what it is.

In 1989, the AAA vacuum store in O'Fallon, MO had one in inventory they couldn't unload. So big, and hard to pull around. Did a great cleaning job. Standard Lamb motor, VERY long hose. Don't know if they ever sold it or not. It was still there when I quit to open my own vac shop. I don't believe bags are available for it any longer. I imagine there are no repair parts as well.
