I recently came across this "vacuum" and bought it because I have never seen one before. I have spent hours trying to research the item and have come up blank -- not even a photo. It appears to be a car vacuum maybe used at a service station? It has the hook up for a nozzle from an air compressor or something similar. It appears to be made of a coated steel with a fabric bag that reads "You expect more from STANDARD and get it." Looking for any info and also curious about its value but will post that on the appropriate forum page. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

That is a great looking item. I have never seen one before. What I really want to know, have you tried it and how well does it work?

I think your guess that it's a Standard service station item used to clean customers cars is probably correct.

Too bad it didn't have a Gargoyle on it and "You expect more from vacuum and get it" Now that would be cool/suck

I've seen one of these before, just can't remember where or when.
