So many to choose from... ...here's one of my favorites

Thanks John ...for that information.

"Designing for People" The 2003 printing of the book features additional photos of his works.

So far, there is no proof that my supposition holds water, but Dreyfuss did design stage sets in his early days. I guess what I am curious about is whether he may have provided Hoover with some art work, on a limited basis in the earlier years, before being recognized and hired as a product...

Model 300 We know that Dreyfuss was instrumental in the design of the model 150. Would it not follow that he, at the same time, also designed the 150's less expensive coffee-can companion, the model 300 (shown with artful green motor band and bag logo)? Perhaps you can see where I am going...

More orange... can't remember the exact model number of this 700 series Hoover which sported the orange motor band

Hoover 700 and 725 orange bag logos Hoover model 725. Note the artful orange bag logo.

Hoover 700 and 725 orange bag logos Was Dreyfuss involved in the early 700 series bag designs?

I don't think there would be much argument against stating that the Hoover 150 was probably Dreyfuss' most new and sensational design. Somehow, I get this "feeling" that Dreyfuss may have been involved with some minor Hoover embellishments as early as the mid 1920's. For instance, consider the...

Hoover 150 The Hoover model 150 may have been introduced at the 1939 World's Fair but had been in production since 1935.

Which was the first Hoover that Henry Dreyfuss played some part in its design, and, which was the last?

If... You are going to Young's for a brush re-bristle, they most likely will have the bulb. They are a very old fashioned vacuum store. But as it is pointed out, any good hardware store should have the 15w bayonet-base bulb. The bulb may be 12v and powered from the motor's field.

I have... a very old set of attachments in the original box for the straight suction model (as shown) and also the Eureka "Junior" hand-vac for the model 'G'

Oh..! It is lovely, and how kind of Helen to offer it.

My Epic... Of all the Electrolux's I've had over the years. I believe I like my Epic the best. Oh, I know it's all plastic. Being an old-timer, I hate plastic, but it does have its advantages. Because the Epic is light weight and easy to drag around, it's my daily driver.

Quick -dry bag tip... Here's something I've been doing for years that works for me and saves time and trouble: Launder the bag in which ever way you choose. I personally prefer a hand-wash using Woolite in tepid water. I've found that the agitation of machine washing can destroy silk-screened...

Hi John... The only clue I have to its age would be the latest patent mark which, on this machine, is 1926. So, it is a model 11? The ID tag doesn't give a model number, just a serial number and patent dates. Thanks for that information.

Hi John... Thank you. I too think the bag is nice for the machine, but you know how we purists can be. Someday my bag will come. Thanks for posting all the great Eureka ephemera. Your Eureka M is lovely. A nice Eureka M like yours would be hard to find today. Eurekas were not as common as...

Anthony... Here's an earlier model from the 1920's. Maybe John can put a name or model number to it.

Anthony... Here's a photo of the Model 'G' Greetings, John! Haven't seen you since the Milwaukee Convention
