Description[Electrolux vacuum cleaner with chrome-plated aluminum and casing and an aluminum casing on the other end. The middle section is an aluminum casing. The vacuum is cylindrical with two long stand bars going down either side. The tin runners on the outside have the Electrolux name stamped out of the aluminum.
