He removed only the essentials, respected the history of the piece, treated the removed parts without damaging anything and most importantly ... spared as much patina as possible!

My gran had exactly the same sweeper, though her brush was worn down a lot more! She kept using it until the late 1970s.

This is what I watch restoration videos for. To watch things I never would have imagined seeing and see how they tick.

Edwardian roomba XD a brush/broom with covering to prevent dust from going everywhere.

Wow wee!! Beautiful job. We had a carpet sweeper like this in the 50s. Love the sound it makes. Really enjoyed watching this. You are quite the artist. Cheers

When you take care of things like this they hold 100 years but a new one last probably 10 years after some time plastic brakes i am always impressed of old things

[@garymucher9590]

Nice refurbishing project. I haven't seen one of them in many many years. Thumbs Up!

[@MatthewMoustache]

Thank you Gary 👍🙏

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

This thing is so cool! Simple genius in how it works.

[@MrGreenBentley]

Hya I ve also just spent my afternoon rebuilding the very same sweeper for fun, You forgot the cord around the out side edge that stops the sweeper denting furniture and the skirting boards, I used old curtain tie back cord, thats what those notches on the metal corners was for. A circle of the cord at the right size so it has to be nipped over the whole cabinet, then small tacked on the area around those metal corners. Looks great f you use red. Great restoration though all the same . lovely job.

[@MatthewMoustache]

Thanks for a bit of information about this lovely old invention, i didn't find any remainings of the cord during restoration, it would be nice to know that earlier 😀 thank you very much 👊

[@MrWolfSnack]

Not all carpet sweepers had rope bumpers. But yes, this model did have one. The company's own video shows it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJzYmWeBj5lobqs You can add the rope part without tearing apart your previous work, it hooks around the outside. Through what looks like some vulcanized rubber type clamper. @@MatthewMoustache

Did you find somewhere for replacement tyres please mine have perished so can’t do anything with the old ones

Beautiful restoration,nice that you kept the original graphics.😍

Thank you very much Lady Tron 😁👍 appreciate it

Cool a wooden knockoff of a Bissell floor/carpet sweeper(1876). I have a modern metal version. It's not "purdy" like this one though. Great job fixing her up.

[@MatthewMoustache]

Thank you 👍 first model was released in 1889 so 13 years to design and start producing their own version however it sounds 😅

[@jeffrey1330]

Good work.

Super film 👍 a zwłaszcza że prawie niemy 😉 (czyli bez muzyki) świetnie się ogląda. A największą satysfakcją jest to że używasz starych narzędzi " bo one mają dusze" i za to wielki szacun dla ciebie 😏 pozdrawiam z Gorzyc 😋😉

Beautiful job! I would have liked to seen how you cleaned up that bristle roller! It must have been difficult to get down to the wood and clean it off with the bristles there.

[@MatthewMoustache]

Thank you very much 👊 sorry for skipping this part but I used hard brush and picking bigger parts of by hands

Thanks man 👍

[@kevinfoster926]

That was fantastic can I assume the Ewbank was the fore runner of the Bex Bissel (which we had in the 60's/70's)?

[@MatthewMoustache]

Thanks Kevin 👍 I don't know but I have these information, Founded in Accrington, Lancashire during 1864, we began under the name Entwisle & Kenyon Limited manufacturing water meters; we later moved on to producing manual washing machines and mangles. In 1889, our first Ewbank sweeper was sold, designed by Richard Walter Kenyon. It soon became the most popular product of its type in Britain and carpet sweeping became known as ‘ewbanking’. After World War II, we became a major manufacturer of floor care products selling shampooers, mangles, ladders and many more to both the UK and internationally. Today, we deliver a diverse collection of home cleaning equipment that has been created to combine design, performance and reliability.

[@jasoncdebussy]

We had a Ewbank carpet sweeper in the late 60s/early 70s. That one is much older than that I think.

[@tracyhawkins9807]

I’m restoring one of these. Where did you find replacement tires or rubber belts to use? Thanks! Beautiful job!

[@MatthewMoustache]

Thanks Tracy, I've cleaned the old ones and glued them with contact glue

Need some ewbanking in my workshop mate. Spare minute this weekend? 😛

[@NomadTheProtogen]

Nice video! I have a question: I have one of these, also from the early 20’s and nearly identical, and mine is in great condition with very little rust. There’s only one thing stopping me from using it, the rubber on the wheels are warped, chipped, and worst of all, too far gone to be saved and prevents function or even rolling. I don’t have much in the way of proper tools without having to schedule some things, but how would I go about replacing the rubber or using a substitute on the wheels? I don’t plan on making this thing look brand new, just make it work again and clean it up to make it look nice, like an elderly man in a suit, where it’s showing it’s age but in an elegant fashion.

[@NomadTheProtogen]

In case you want to know specifically, it’s a Bissel’s, “Cyco” Bearing, Grand Rapids.

[@MatthewMoustache]

Thank you 👍 you can try to find rubber tyres in the same size or buy 5mm rubber strip and try to make new by yourself. I hope this will help. I can make some research and let you know if you find me on other social media

[@NomadTheProtogen]

@@MatthewMoustache Thanks!

[@MrWolfSnack]

I save old worn out flat vacuum belts from my other vacuum cleaners to cut up and glue into new tire treads. @@NomadTheProtogen

Looks good. You need to use the correct screwdriver for the job and work on your screwdriver skills.

Thanks, I definitely will 😎

Aren't flat blade screwdrivers and slotted screws the most hideous things? And yet they're the only type that look right in a period setting...

[@MichaelBritt23]

That font must have been pretty new for 1920

[@Landrew0]

Nylon bristles in 1920?

[@MatthewMoustache]

They are more likely made from horse hair not nylon 🤔

Had to stop watching at 2:38 after seeing Bubba here chew the slots out of three or four screws using his Wal-Mart® taper-ground screwdrivers.
