Anyone Ever Heard of/Seen This Eureka?

[kirbyclassiciii]

It is called the Whisk model 165A. It is a canister with a 3.3-amp motor. It is black in color and it appears to resemble a suitcase.

That was originally made by General Electric in the 1960&#39

or Eureka made it for General Electric in the 1960's - not sure who provided it for whom. But they are identical.

Here's the GE version - you can see it in the advertisement from the 1960's:

I have one, with the hose and one tool, don't know where it is at the moment. I have most of the GE version too.

Wow, I've never seen a Eureka like that.... looks like it would have been in direct competition with the Hoover Portapower.

But Back Then, So Would the Mighty Mite

I believe the Mighty Mite sold better than the Quick, for the MM had wheels and more attachments.
