Hi all. Hoping to be able to find some help here. I just aquired this from a family member and am looking to refurb it. Below are some pics. I'm guessing 30's to 40's. The bag has "House Maid Deluxe" printed in yellow on it.
Thanks for any help possible

It's actually a Cadillac, made by Clements. The 1950 Consumer Reports had all three brand names that Cadillac made (Cadillac, House Maid, and Co Op) listed with the varying prices (depending upon the brand name). I have all three versions (thanks to David Watters for two of them). This is my Co Op, which you can see is the same machine. In it's day, Clements private labeled their machines for different retailers.

Re Clements

They are still in business making industrial blowers, I have a mid 50s Cadillac Quic Vac swivel top canister, the first 2 speed canister introduced, they built their own motors and they sound different from anything else.
 
Thanks for the replies.
Dysonman1, do you know the approximate yr of the one you have pictured and are there still parts to be found? I already know the brush bar needs replacing and there's no belt. The cords look to be in good shape as well as the switches. Though this has water damage to the aluminum case, I plan on refurbing this as best as possible or if there is anyone interested in it for the parts, I may part with it.
