I found an old vaccum sweeper that looks like that item and I wanna make it a prop. But wondered what its actually called.
i highly suggest you get familiar with the search function of this forum and the equipment section of the site.
Bacharach sniffer

Type, “f****’ SEARCHBARS; HOW DO THEY WORK?” into the little box thing, idiot.
(narf)
Wasn’t that a small air compresser?
All of this talk about vacuum sweepers made me realize I had to update the sniffer page…voila.
Yeah, just so you know I was joking. I think this was one of the first less known props we found years ago.
Sweet…do you have an actual 300 sniffer as well?
Mine’s a 302:
Ah yes, I have a 301 and had a 302 as well. I just had to have a 300…thank god someone at Bacharach sent me one that turned up because I don’t know if I ever would’ve found one myself. The hand pump aspirator makes it totally worth the search…well worth it.
They still had some of the old 300s at the company? Awesome, nice score.
Actually, they do not have any 300’s left and haven’t for decades. One of my contact’s coworkers brought one in when he had heard about me. Initially I was just contacting them to try and get a hand aspirator for my 301 with the intent to attach it by some self-produced mechanism. I had NO idea I was getting a 300 sniffer until he emailed me and said one turned up…I just about fell out of my chair. Burkit has witnessed it’s awesomeness…I love it.
