Interesting how everything American over in Japan is rebranded. We got a very different ambassador over here.

Electrolux AB already owned the rights to the Electrolux name everywhere but North America so Electrolux Inc. from the US had to find different names to sell their vacuums under in Japan and Europe.

That makes sense.

It has a US plug, I have a NOS PN that says Concordia and has the Canadian maple leaf

 

[centralsweeper63]

That is very interesting to hear.I would love to see a photo

Interesting. I had not even noticed the maple leaf in the A. Mine has it too. Btw, that PN is gorgeous. Looks factory new.

If you have a matching machine in the same condition it deserves a glass case.

It's pretty clean for a used vacuum but not factory fresh looking like this one.

Here are some images of my Concordia, along with my Epic 6500 SR and Royal Lux D795.

Still really good nick though.

Very cool. I recall that some time ago there was another thread on the discussion of a Concordia pn that was listed separately on eBay.

Regarding the Tiger decal on Cheesewonton's Concordia, I suspect that it indicated a top sales award cleaner.

The Canadian E-2000 (and E-Special sans the automatic shut-off mechanism) originated the Concordia E-2000's particular design in 1982; although the Concordia's label graphics and Light Sand Gray & Jadestone colors match the 1985-87 Canadian/US version of the 2100 (and the L-E sans the automatic shut-off mechanism). There is likely a style matching Concordia E-Special and floor polisher, too.

Very interesting info Paul. How do you always dig out such gems.

There is a Concordia 2100 with the suction control on a Japanese on-line flea market right now. If it wasn't for the hassle of paying tariffs and customs brokerage fees on top of shipping I would go for it. But Jupiter ( the orange colored gas giant ) and his tariffs have made buying from Japan a PITA now.

Thanks, Elliot. The VL archived threads are a treasure trove of information and eBay is another good source. The Tiger Award photo was posted by someone who only joined the forum to sell it.

So a top sales person in Japan. Interesting. The vacuum has a back story. You are truly amazing. I wonder where that tiger statue went?

At one point John Anderson, a longtime Electrolux salesman whose father had also been one for many years, frequently posted on VL. His handle was tig21er. I'd like to think that it went to him or someone like him. The tiger award post was in 2014, which is the era when John posted.

That's a good tip with the archives. I will keep an eye out next time I need info. I really do hope that tiger award sold to a good home.

Was the tiger award for sales in Canada of sales in Japan? My Concordia is a 100 volt Japanese market vacuum.

I was wondering why have a leaf very much associated with Canada on a japenese vacuum. I have no clue.

I am going to have to look at the data tag on the bottom to see if it was made in the US or Canada.

That link with the Japanese one has a US style electric plug. So don’t think it was meant for that market.

As far as my PN it was probably the one in discussion years ago as I bought it on eBay. It is brand new, I keep it for parts
