    I can't find this company? I also can't imagine trying to clean up anything with this? The wand is only about 3 inches wide and has a 1/8 inch slot in it. The tank is detachable for emptying.

    I thought the earliest vacuum cleaners had a hand operated pump action, but could easily be wrong. That looks pretty early to me.
