    Very rare Montgomery Wards Branded Eureka Ultra...

    I have been in question if these were even in existence for some years now, after seeing a package of Montgomery Wards Type Z bags, that not only boast that they fit the Eureka Ultra Series, but also gave 4 Montgomery Wards model numbers too. I had asked several well versed collectors over the...

    Hoover Convertible U4127?

    There has been much.... Debate over which model was the first plastic based, and when. Some would say that the 4119 and U4127 were not the first, because the Sea Blue Estate was reissued as the Convertible Elite Mode U4103, and was reissued as a plastic based model. As well as the Mint Green...

    Eureka/Sanitaire age anomally

    Those are..... Wild Moss that you are thinking of. Moss green and Wild Moss are two different colors. Besides the Wild Moss Centennials came about in 1976, they are the 2nd line of Eureka to have the new Lexan base.

    Eureka/Sanitaire age anomally

    ok...That is not from 1978. Major clue one, the rocker switch. look on the base for a little circle, with a raised center that looks rather like a nipple. In that circle should have two digits. As you have already applied those two digits are the year. Seeing what I am seeing, the rocker...

    To keep or not to keep

    That is a 1985.... K-Mart Exclusive Convertible. Doesn't look too bad. If you decided that you did not want it, I'm sure someone here would.

    When did the first Dirt Devil arrive on the on the scene?

    1st off.... A Sears Catalog would not help. Because in the 1970s and 80's Sears did not sell name brand items, they only sold THEIR brands. Sears and Montgomery wards and JCPenneys started selling name brand products toward the end of the 80's   As we all know the Royal Prince had been...

    Anyone have a Eureka

    That is my Youtube channel.... Prince is correct, there were 4 different models that were considered the Sweet 16's. As the commercial states, they are called that because they were suppose to be simple. When they were first introduced, they were just the lower side of Eureka's Canister range...

    One of my favorite thrift shops has closed down

    Same thing happend here.... My prime thrifting spot here in Downtown closed down a few months back. I had been shopping there since I was 11 years old, about 20 years of business. I found countless machines there, and small appliances and such. I was very sad.  I was told that it had been open...

    Royal Metal Uprights - Belt Question

    well, for the amount of machines I have..... Since I have a rather large collection. I SHOULD disconnect belts on things that don't get used that often. Belts do wear on any machine, weather the machine gets used or not. Because there is always tension between brush roll and belt pulley. But...

    Premier Duplex

    No..... The Premier's were made by General Electric. I was a line owned by GE that was suppose to be more affordable. It started in the late 20's and went all the way through to the late 70's or early 1980's.  Here are pics of my 1949 GE to compare.
