ODD!! STRANGE!!!

 

[kenkart]

Then...

A bag type filter similar to a McAllister...

 

[kenkart]

The top..

Has a slot around it to diffuse the air, a switch and a handle...No nameplate or tag, I am going to put a cord on it and see how it runs...Any Ideas guys, Ive never seen such a thing!

 

[kenkart]

Could it be

Canadian????

Wow!

I have one of these labeled a Coronado... Which I believe was sold by Gamble's. I saw it at an estate sale about 6 months ago, and had never seen one, which is why I grabbed it. I have a hose and a few attachments, but it's not complete by any means. I haven't even opened it up yet, the two halves seem to be stuck together. I don't think I've even plugged it in, either. I was planning on starting a thread at some point, and asking you if you knew anything about it.. You're the king of canisters!

Looking at your photos a bit closer, it looks like the upper half may have been painted.

Another shot...

Here's the tag on the bottom..

 

[kenkart]

It must be..

Canadian made...Now im excited...something Ive never seen!!!!

 

[hoovercelebrity]

Found the hose.. Took me a minute to find it. I would guess this hose is original, and it's still good!

Here's the connector:

 

[kenkart]

HMMMMMM

Thats pretty! What an odd connector, similat to the early Westinghouse tank..!!

Looks like the upholstery tool didn't like the cold winter in the garage. :-(

 

[kenkart]

LOL!

But it looks like a standard fit all type... Wonder what the rug tool was...Lord have mercy...im like a little kid again!!LOL

 

[hoovercelebrity]

I'll have to look around the garage when it gets a little warmer out. I don't think there were any more attachments with the cleaner, other than the hose and an upholstery tool, but I don't totally remember.

Thanks Fred

For posting pictures, I love seeing oddball stuff...I know most guys collect normal stuff, and I do too, but the odd, strange, one off stuff is more interesting to me!

Kenkart,

the last time I looked Minnesota was in the USA. It was also patented in USA.

 

[kenkart]

YEAH..

I know, but a lot of those companies sold Canadian goods....Fairfax for example..
