Jack...that is an 850 which was exclusive to Canada. My information from the Hoover Historical Center in North Canton, OH shows that it was produced starting in 1936. This was well after the 800 left production here in the US. Often, the US would get the new model, in this case the 150 and then the Hamilton plant would take over where we left off and there would be some changes like the handle release. This is much like the difference in our 150 and the UK 160 except in my opinion the UK version was superior to our 150 in that it eliminated the handle bail. There was no 775 produced. I hope this helps some.
