The other thing that's interesting is the two dusters...I wonder if one was in the 130 I bought...hmmm...incidentally the family that originally owned my 130 was in the carpet business, they weren't Victor dealers, they had an 18 room house that surely could have had two very deluxe Victors in it! As far as I know the only Victor dealer in Amsterdam was "Morrison and Putman". I should email him and ask the dealer name on the dusters!
