Kenmore Dirt Pirate handheld vac

Sorry if this isn't the place for small appliances, but I could find no
other relevant newsgroups on my ISP.

I have this old vac and cannot find any info whatsoever online after
quite a bit of Googling.  It needs a new belt which would be easily
enough obtained, but I would like to know whether this vac is worth much
as a collectible, since it's apparently rare enough that there's no info
on the net about it.

Physical description:

This white handheld unit has a belt-driven roller brush at front, where
the casing accepts the gray snap-on hose (wide mouth hose shroud at this
end).  The hose itself is 1.5" (38mm) diameter and 3.5' (1.07m) long.

There's a tapered 2.375" (60.325mm) up to 2" (50.8mm) red plastic logo
plate screwed onto the front 2" (50.8mm) above the bottom of the roller
brush area -- "Kenmore DIRTPirate" is painted white on the plate.  The
body is 5" (127mm) wide x 4.25" (107.95mm) high (not including the bag,
handle, roller brush or intake sections).  Roller brush section is 7"
(177.8mm) wide x 2.5" (63.5mm) deep (front to rear).

The slide-type power switch is located at the top of the unit at the
forward most point of the 1.375" (34.93mm) wide handle.  The gray,
non-polarized power cord exits the rear of handle and is 20' (6.1m) in
length.  The rear of the handle is separate from the main body.

The bag is red cloth with a plastic rim which snap-locks onto the body
rear over a rubber seal.  The bag has "Kenmore DIRTPirate" printed on it
in faint white and has a faint white checkerboard pattern.
