Funny, Christopher (#12)! Well, that's all I was able to find at this time. Would be great to get those for (deluxe) Models E, A-E, F, Olympia One/1401-B, and more recent ones (taking for granted that the economy models were never featured on courtesy cards). I'll keep looking.

Great fun! Love those postcards. I have them for XXX, E-A and F. Will see if I can get my hands on them.

Electrolux branches and cards
At the time of the card in reply 15 the branches received vinyl stripes in the same colors as a border to front display windows.

Thanks for your responses, Charles (#22), Phillip (#23), and Jimmy (#24).
Charles, I didn't realize that the cards went as far back as the Model XXXs. Hope you are able to find those along with the Models E-A, and F.
Phillip, I'm not aware of another upright so am curious to see what you find.
Jimmy, I like hearing anecdotes of yours. If you have any pics of your branch office over the years please post them or let me know where I can see them if they've already been posted.

Thanks so much for scanning those,,have always loved looking at them.
The card that shows the Golden J, with the blue carpet, is the card the saleman left with my Grandma when she bought her Golden J in the Spring of 1976. Her machine is this exact model, with the 50th Anniversary stickers.
Evidently the end of the Golden Js, before start of the selling of the Super J.
Notice on the 2 cards for the Silverado Deluxe,,the first one is a first run Silverado,,the front handle behind the on/off swith is missing, and Same body style as the Super J, only in Silver.
One the second card, the handle IS there, so evidently a little later production, but still in 1982,, But both cards show the same PN.

You're welcome for the pics, Brian. Thanks for your reply (#37). They aren't my scans, though. They are mostly from eBay listings and one or more are from other online sites.
Thanks for pointing out the differences between the handle styles of the Silverados (#s 15 & 26) and telling about your grandma's 1976 Golden J/1205-J. Regarding the different styles of handles, John (tig21er) pointed out in another thread that both the Olympia One/1401 and early Silverado/1505 had the same horizontal handles (shorter than the Super J/1401) and vertical finger grip. The later version of the Olympia One, Model 1401-B, and the later versions of the Silverado/1505 had the two handles for each carrying position. Regarding the power nozzle, the PN-5 must have debuted with the last version of the Silverado (with the 'Silverado Deluxe' decal affixed behind the blower port).
