    General Electric Canister on Ebay!

    <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Yes, I'd have to agree, this will be money well spent by a vacuum cleaner collector. A machine of that vintage (mid to late 1960s) in such gorgeous condition is, dare I say, a once-in-a-lifetime find.</span>
