Are these original tools for a Constellation 84?

They would appear that they are.

Yes indeed, all original right down to the hose & cord.
The Constellation was first introduced in 1954 with the two-tone blue 82. From 1955-57 the Mulberry 84 and Heather Rose 85 were added to the lineup and all three ran concurrently. The 84 & 85 were the first floating models.
The Canadian version of the 84 was called the 841E and came with the regular rug/floor nozzle. Mine also has the wide wall/bare floors brush and I have no doubt the USA version had that too - fairly easy to find to make this set 100%.
The one you've pictured has the much desired wheeled floor nozzle. To come across a swiveltop Connie with all that paperwork and caddy, in the original box, is a thrilling rarity. If I didn't already have my 841E in similar condition - and the shipping wasn't US$86 to Canada - the ebay one in Denver would be Buy-It-Nowed already.

Thank you both for the info.
My offer is pending on the Connie, so we'll see. It's one of my dream machines so I'll be extremely happy if they accept.
