What is this Eectrolux tool kit for?

[USV]

Found this old set of Electrolux tools in a wooden box just marked Electrolux Sweden. If anyone knows what this is and how old it is I would love to know.

Are those bearings in the box? Electrolux made a lot of things besides vacuums.

Looks like a box of sample ball bearings.Suppose they had a division that made bearings-for their motors and other motor manufacturers?

The White Sewing Machine Company was a division of Electrolux Sweden. In fact, in the USA, White Sewing Machine made the motors for the model 12 Electrolux. While they look too big for sewing machine bearings, some of them look like they would fit the old models 5, 11, and 12 Cleaners.

Electrolux only bought White Considated Industries in the 1980's. That wooden box looks like it comes from the 1930's or 40's. It probably has nothing to do with the White Sewing Machine company.

My WWII vet dad worked at American Brass in Connecticut until he entered the Army in 1944 (machinest in a war critical industry meant he could not be drafted so he quit to join when a brother came back from the Merchant Marine). He complained bitterly that the Swedes sold bearings to the Germans that were badly needed in the brass mill.

Are these the bearings? Lol.
