My little flea market find this morning (vacuum related)

Aren't you all like me sick of Dan in Seattle always finding the good stuff that it makes you want to puke LOL
Well I found this this morning at the flea market, a lovely little Westinghouse handvac in minty condition, just needs a new belt as the original has dried up. Two dollah and I take home. That dollah seventy five to yankees

very oool...and what a great price! I love the style of the 40's and 50's Westy vacuums. I have that same model in my collection.

Lucky You!

Great vacuum! Looks in great condition. Is it bakelite?

Bakelite

Why yes it is! I have one too but have never used it because the cord is so brittle! Pete, great little find! It looks like a little airplane doesn't it?

That is too cute - it does look like the front of an airplane or high-speed locomotive! I have a Westy hand-vac, but I think it's all metal with a wood handle.
