That's in really nice shape. However, I have never really been crazy about the early Constellations with the suction hole on top and the long arm reaching out of it. It looks ungainly and awkward somehow. They finally got it right when they moved the hole lower and streamlined the suction coupler. Even more so when they added the space-age fins!

Here's my favorite Connie...

The blue Connie is eye candy, I love that design, as it is also that of my first one. I also like the slanted one, the one on eBay is ungainly but so fresh looking. I believe the rug tool is a rare item.

Hard to believe its not been snapped up yet. A great 'starter' kit of the first Constellation floater in what appears to be excellent cosmetic condition with that, yes, kinda scarce wheeled floor nozzle.

I have the 3 models of swivelhose Connies already. Hopefully this one has been posted on a board at the Convention...
