Found this with an old friend on my vacation back home in Nebraska. Constellation 454. Not bad for $10. In great shape with most attachments and caddy.

Hes going to restore it and sell in future.

Some other random sightings as well from today.

Nice catch!

I like the color on the Connie. Got my Connie from a curb-side pick up program near by. No cord or power switch, no problem I thought. Free is free. Got home,cut the zip tie holding the lid closed.No dirty bag, no debris nothing. Just need to find a motor and all that goes with it! So for now I've used Connie as an open faced double salad bowl, or potato chip bowl and back up ice at parties and family gatherings,pre Covid!

I have a Kenmore canister close to the model you show on #2. Great machine. No controls for p/n on hose,I don't think we were there yet. I had to fashion a new pre motor filter for it, they're so big on these. You can't miss the toe-tap on/off switch! I'm going to see about hepa filters for this. A bit clunky compared to today's canisters but better quality so a definite keeper.

How is your organ transplant going,lol? I saw an update and wow, looks stunning. Have you been able to acquire all that's needed for the rebuild/restore? How close are you to your nearest neighbor? Hee Hee... Billy
 
I've always liked the look of the Constellations but I haven't seen one since the yellow one my grandmother had. It went away sometime in the mid-'70s, I think.
