Mystery vacuum cleaner.
Hi,
A friend of mine posted this picture an says that it's an Electrolux. I said that it was a Goblin, but closer scrutiny seems to point to it being a 'Jules', but has some Goblin features. To settle a discussion, did such a brand exist back in the day? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Pete.

Re: Mystery vacuum cleaner.
I restored one of these (or one very much like it) for the Museum where I work as a volunteer, and it's a Goblin. Sorry I've not heard of Jules.

That's a stock image marked as a 'Hercules'

Re: Mystery vacuum cleaner.
Were Jules and Hercules the precursors of Henry and Hetty?

Re: Mystery vacuum cleaner.
'Jonelle' was the usual John Lewis brand.
