Lewyt 107 Motorized beater Sweeper closeup

Convention picture?

Whoops Fred, I was confuzzled. I remember your post when you got the 121. But in my Lewyt file I also have this picture of you and Robert posing with a first prize winning 121 so jumped to the conclusion that this is yours. So, who's is it and what Convention did it be at? My nozzle is not...

Ad scan for the 1950 Lewyt non-electric Carpet Sweeper Rug Nozzle. As the copy explains it was not motorized - rubber side wheels revolved the brush. It could be used alone or in concert with your Model 44. I've not seen one in person. Fred, are you hinting that your 121's beater sweeper wants...

Guts of the Motorized Beater Sweeper, lamp socket being replaced. Smart and economical elegant engineering.

This is the first plug-in 115 VAC Motorized Beater Sweeper with the headlight in the front edge posed with a Model 77; I have it plugged into an extension cord. My Model 107 has a severely rusted bucket and paint and awaits restoration. The Lewyt PN drives the brushroll through gears, not a...

Fascinating reading for some folks Patent page 1-2

The electric shock Big Wheel Lewyt introduced it's first Electronic Big Wheel Model 107 with power nozzle in 1957. The wands and hose were not electrified. Instead, the power nozzle has a long cord clipped to the hose & wands and plugs into a regular 120 vac socket below the toggle switch - it...

A Lewyt condensed timeline Lewyt's cloth cone over a wire cage was introduced on the 1947 Model 40 and as shown used a secondary paper cone - an obvious patent infringement. Lewyt's solution after losing the law suit was to flatten the wire frame, cover it with a very attractive double-thick...

We have 3 Shoppers Drug Mart franchise stores in Stratford owned by the same family. In every one, as you enter the sliding doors you HAVE to walk through the Cosmetics Department to get to the rest of the store. The stench is truly eye-watering and I no longer enter those stores without holding...

Not to stray too far off-thread but what did I find this afternoon at the Flea Market at a 50% discount? I simply could not resist bringing this baby home for $20. This was Cadillac's Art and Science answer to the Maybach. Had it gone into production it would have sold well among the favoured...

The left-most is my Johann white plastic model kit from 48 years ago; the interior is still dust-free because of the side windows I put in. The one in the middle and the convertible are diecasts and kept in their boxes stacked up with all the others in a closet. I also have the complete 1980s...

Wowee, that brings back some fine fond memories!! I was 10, my brother was 12 and Dad was the service manager at the London Ontario GM Dealership. Dad took us two over to the Chrysler Dealership after hours when the Turbine came through on a promotional tour. We got to sit in it! Both my...

Cold snap is right! It's been -8 F for 3 days now with winds drifting the powder snow into shapely dunes. You know its cold when the snow squeeks. Crock Potting this stew right now on slow overnight. Since I loathe onions in any form but powdered essence, I substituted whole baby mushrooms. My...

If vehicles are simply large stylish appliances for our convenience, utility and comfort then many folks may get some joy from my tour of the Detroit Auto Show this past Thursday. I had to forgo the Show last year for the first time in decades due to the weather and was bound and determined...

Is that a bannana in your pocket or...? On a similar note... This is the Dockers page from the Father's Day Weekend flyer from Sears Canada. This is an un-retouched scan of what was printed. Um, very nice pleated white chinos there, Dad, and the feller to your left thinks so, too. Dave

I am deeply indebted to these portable AC units. With an 1894 brick house - second level built into raised roof attic - of approximately 1220 sq ft on each level, central air is not really an option without spending thousands just to seal up every crack and floorboard. I have caulked and sealed...

Do they match this one? I'd love those Turquoise/Blue bowls! I've been constantly on the hunt for a pair, or just the small one, in every Thrift Store I visit...for years. Dave
