The rarest bag package--
--would have to be the starter bags that were packed on the tool tray with new Elux tanks.For Olympia and possibly many others the 6 bags included were in a plain clear plastic wrapper with reorder envelope inside.At least for the E - AE there was a small,thin cardboard box with red lettering.In the 80s the starter pack was as in reply 30 but for 6 bags.The 12 & 26 pack as in reply 30 sometimes came with price printed on and in case of price increase branches would be sent stickers with new price.

The Germgrabber bags were treated with antibacterial coating inside the bag to kill bacteria and germs. They aren't made today because all Aerus bags are treated. Home Solutions bags are made by another company for Aerus. They recently neared bankruptcy. They are apparently still making Aerus' bags for the time being. The Sure Thing says Aerus Electrolux and 4 Ply on the box. That signals they are old bags because the bags aren't 4 Ply anymore and the name Sure Thing is retired. Home Solutions are the current lineup. I am by no means the biggest Lux expert here but I hope that cleared up a little.
Thanks for the replies, Jimmy (#31), David (#32), and Christopher (#33).
I appreciate your answers to my questions (and more) and your time.
Christopher, Do you know when the Sure Thing bags were used and when Home Solutions took over? Also, why doesn't Aerus make its own bags anymore?

@ Christopher, sorry, but how bad sounds " I am by no means the biggest Lux expert here ". It looks like a lack of humbleness or a too young person with little experience for talking of himself. Ok, sorry if I understood the wrong way. Gus

The symbol on the package of your original post is also known as a fleur-de-lis; one of the most recognized forms of which is used in the Boy Scouts logo (below). Here is some other information on it from en.wikipedia.com:
The fleur-de-lis or fleur-de-lys (plural: fleurs-de-lis) is a stylized lily (in French, fleur means flower, and lis means lily) or iris that is used as a decorative design or symbol. It may be "at one and the same time, religious, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic", especially in French heraldry.
While the fleur-de-lis has appeared on countless European coats of arms and flags over the centuries, it is particularly associated with the French monarchy in a historical context, and continues to appear in the arms of the King of Spain and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg and members of the House of Bourbon. It remains an enduring symbol of France that appears on French postage stamps, although it has never been adopted officially by any of the French republics. According to French historian Georges Duby, the three petals represent the medieval social classes: those who worked, those who fought, and those who prayed.
Electrolux seemed to have used this symbol on packaging and labeling in the 1960s with the cursive wordmark of the 1950s. The 1962 serifed capitals logo with the "boat-shaped" border eventually replaced it.

@ Christopher, that's exactly the idea I had in mind, but apparently I misunderstood you were saying you were the most expert here, so I thought what about the other people here who are real experts? I'm not any expert at all!, but there is a number of people that they DO, so I felt offended. Probably I didn't catch your real idea. My mistake. And then I thought, this one must be a teenager who we have already seen some of them making several mistakes, mostly because of lack of experience in life. So if you were showing respect to the olders, that's alright with me, and I assume my responsibility for not fully understand your statement. So Christopher I ask you to excuse me for my mistake. Gus
Genuine Electrolux Heavy-Duty Bags (First Generation Upright Models 1363, 1451, and 1451e)--I was told that the style "C" and "U" designations did not come until later, so as far as I know there was no product code. They were probably just referred to as Electrolux upright bags back in the day. I don't know if there were different colors and printing over the years for this model or not:

reply to #49 I can not call the bag effective. The bag is made China and is extremely thin. The bag is made for Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc. which not Aerus/ Electrolux. The bags are a single ply, all Electrolux were 4 ply. The new bags produced by Aerus/Electrolux are using a bag the is 4 times better than previous 4 ply and will filter 94% down to true HEPA. I have those very bags ( the Arm & Hammer C bags ) in front of me now. They were given to me by a bag customer that said it didn't act the same as her bags from the company.
