Eureka Imperial From what I can tell, the Eureka Imperial seems to have only been sold at branches of Allied Stores.

From this ad from the Winnipeg Free Press, 9/20/78, that looks like the original bag.

It seems like the more sense I try to make of Eureka model numbers, the less sense they make. For instance, in the Eureka Automatic range, I found an ad for a machine called the 228-A (7/17/1969) along with one for the 238-D (7/10/1969). Then, it looks like in the 1400 series, there is little...

Hi! I'm working out the purchase of a GE AV-17 upright vacuum, and have several questions. 1. How many pieces does the handle disassemble into? 2. How big is the handle (length especially) 3. When restored, would it have a mirrored finish? 4. When was it made? Serial number is AV-17 6577

These are the ones I was considering https://www.walmart.com/ip/United-Sales-Skate-Wheel-Steel-1-1-2-Dia-100-lb-SW1-5X250/586728712?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1194

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck replacing the rear wheels on a hose-port Eureka, with out-of-the box solutions, like model car wheels, skateboard wheels, etc.

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has an extra set of rear wheels for a Eureka 260. If I remember correctly, they're also shared with the canister. Also, are there new wheels that would fit? Nick

Hi! I am downsizing my collection, and want to be sure they go to good homes. I have several Eureka 1400 series uprights. Please send me an email to texbodemer @ gmail.com if you'd like to learn more. My price range is between 25 and 45 dollars per machine. All work. Local pickup in...

Signs I love your round Eureka and Hoover signs. Have you thought about having replicas made? (I'd be willing to pay around 29.95 for a replica of either, and I'm sure others would also)

I'm wondering I'm wondering how hard it would be for someone who can sew to make fabric replicas of the vinyl bags, especially since Eureka offered some fabric bags on the 260, and some of the 1970s machines. It seems like a lot of their patterns would look really good in fabric.

I know there are people who make replacement replica bags for vintage Hoover upright vacuums--is there anyone who makes them for vintage Eureka uprights? (1950s-1980s) Nick

The bag The original bag was dark gray with EUREKA running down it in white letters. It was crusty, water damaged, and rusty, with a horrible mold smell. The base has been repainted in a slightly lighter hammertone finish (for durability).

I wish I had taken a before picture (the seller may have one). It looked like a building had fallen on it when I got it. I took it to Bremerton Office Machines who redid the motor, sandblasted and painted it, and had new decals made by a company in the Netherlands...

Hi! This may seem like a dumb question, but why does it seem like so many commercial upright vacuums are missing their lower cord hook?

1977 In 1977, Frederick and Nelson (Seattle's division of Marshall Field's) was still selling it as having an "Early American patterned dust bag cover." This ad is from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, January 7, 1977

Huge favor: Would you mind posting advertisements for the Eureka 1400 series on this thread, with the following information? MAKE, MODEL ADVERTISER PUBLICATION TITLE DATE (MM/DD/YYYY) I'm trying to catalog what model was sold where, to confirm a theory about the 1400 series having different...

Regional varieties? I'm also thinking that some ranges were regional. I'm basing some of this theory on what I've noticed with typewriters--in the Seattle metro area, of typewriters that came in a choice of red, harvest gold, light blue, and gray, light blue and gray are the colors I'm most...
