Please tell me the years Electrolux made the de-mothers and sprayers, how they changed over time, and color information.
 
Electrolux demothers & sprayers

These go back to early models and served a useful function in the days before synthetic fabrics and aeresol spray cans.The best known are probably from the Mo XXX as standard equipment in their own little boxes.
Demother-The Mo XII was flat and screwed on the exhaust opening.The same threads could also take the hose connector from front to use hose for blowing.Then the chrome that was bigger in the center.In mid 50s(?) they became optional.Then painted metal(at least white & blue).After the 1205 they were still available with longer release buttons for the top exhaust.Then ignored and forgotton.
Sprayers-Early was chrome metal with Electrolux name stamped on.(glass jars often had name molded in but can be replaced with standard jar if original breaks)Then the black bakelite top.In mid 50s(?)they became optional.Last was white plastic top.
Others feel free to fill in gaps I have left or add pictures.
 
In Canada the vaporizers came with the Electrolux's right up to the 1973 model 89 and the Sprayers came with them up to the 1968 model 88. After that vaporizers were available as optional accessories until the model 280 in 1985 and sprayers till the model 2100 in 1995.

As for colours - the colour of the attachments in Canada always matched the machines.
