...somebody out there needs one of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/Eureka-12-Inch-Upright-Brush-Roll-2000-series-/150519404824?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230ba7d918

On eBay. A little spendy, but notice how good the wheels and bag are. Paint looks good. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-HOOVER-MODEL-28-Art-Deco-Upright-Vacuum-Vac-/270661719954?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f04b21792

I think Eureka toyed with that color into the 80s? Indeed, the cord/hood grommet and colored cord hooks suggest a very early 1400 model. Think someone once said the 1400 series made its debut in 1974? Also a very early plastic-base model. Thats an exquisite burgundy Eureka!

I was watching that but in the end, for me, the starting bid combined with the shipping was a little too much. Perhaps if the listing included more pics of the contents...

Charles...

However, the price was too high, for me...

But, the cloth bag models dont seem nearly as common as the vinyl bag models...

Saw it on eBay? Does the end price seem reasonable? It IS a nice machine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190429294851&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123

Rest assured that is NO WAY a genuine Hoover part!

I remember them too. Yes, think it was the 90s. Best Buy, maybe??

Fred's hose To me, that looks like a replacement for the old 28/61 style machines. Or maybe model 64.

In 1974, with plastic cord hooks.
