Electrolux Model XXX attachments & Crevice Tool Q

Model XXX Rug Cleaner--I'm guessing by the box that it is from the late '40s or '50s era. Come to think of it, though, to my knowledge I've never seen a earlier style of box; just those with the trefoils in the '60s and the versions with the "boat-shaped" border that came later. I'm guessing there were boxes with '50s cursive lettering box that was introduced on the 1952 Model LX's red on yellow wordmark. Does anyone have any info. on the subject?

Crevice "Tip"
Did Electrolux make the short crevice "tip", so it could be stored in the dust brush? Was it standard or optional? Does Aerus still sell it?
I'm guessing it went with the 75th anniversary machines because of its oyster color.

The Crevice tool in Reply 24 is from the Canadian Electrolux Z57 and was one of the first of that design made (dark blue made at the same time for the 54 and 55)
The one for the tan G doesn't have that style of logo.
In reply 33 the short crevice tool first appeared about halfway through the run of the 2100 in Canada (and,I believe,the Diamond J in the US). It was made to easily fit on the tool clip on the exhaust cover of the 2100 and the handle clip of the US model. They were standard equipment with the machines until the Diplomats came out, when they reverted to the full sized crevice tool.

Re: replies #5, 14, 24, 25, 29
It's been awhile, so I reread the replies in this thread and found that Jimmy mentioned that the first tan G crevice tools had plain lettering (#24) and the later ones carried the boat-shaped logo as seen in #8. So, I'm thinking that the US purchased its initial batch of crevice tools for the tan Model G.
In addition, #29 shows a pic of an ivory crevice tool that looks a bit different with a rectangle-enclosed boat-shaped logo next to a Super J. Would that have gone with the Canadian AP series?

Here is the crevice tool for the tan Model G. (See first photo.)
Also, there were two different crevice tools for the turquoise G.
The early one is as shown in the thread above, shaped identically as the earlier versions made from pressed fiberboard but made of plastic which proved to be rather brittle and easily broken or cracked.
The later one was exactly the same shape, style and material as the tan one shown here. These types were made of a softer, more flexible plastic that was much more durable.
The 1205's crevice tool was the same as these two but darker turquoise in color. (See second photo.)
The Golden Jubilee, Super J and Olympia tools were also the same but were off-white and had a textured surface on the flat part of the tool -- the same texture as the metal sides of the motor housing.
The Silverado tool was light gray and also had a textured surface. The Ambassador tool was charcoal gray, also textured. (See third photo.)
I believe it was after the Ambassador that the much shorter (and largely useless) crevice tool was introduced.

One correction to your info., Charles. The textured crevice tools didn't come until sometime during the run of the Olympia One (maybe when it was remodeled 1401B with the two handles and other revisions). The Jubilee and Super J also had the smooth ivory crevice tools (same as the tan G and teal 1205).
Those crevice tips must not have lasted long in the US, because I hardly ever see them in online auctions. A couple other possibilities are that they were only sold with the Canadian 2100s, L-Es, etc. that were assembled and sold here, or they were only sold with some uprights. The owners manuals would give us the info.

XXX Crevice tool material
Is the Crevice Tool for say a 48-51 XXX metal or plastic?
I am in need of one to complete my new to me XXX and think I may have found one, but want to be sure of what it is made of. I am the type that I want it all original if at all possible.
Anyone know the dimensions, or have one they could take some from?
This is a cool place. I didn't realize vacuums had such a following ;-)

Most of the Model XXX "narrow space cleaners" (as Electrolux referred to them at the time) were a black, pressed fiberboard, or composite.
If memory serves I believe I read that the very early cleaners (e.g. Model V, Model XII) had metal ones. I do not know if the first versions of the Model XXX would have had those or not.
In reading the earlier replies it looks like the pressed fiber material was used until the hard plastic version of the first aqua Model Gs; followed by the soft plastic in later aqua Model Gs that is still currently used.
I wonder if the color would have changed from black to blue-gray (the color of the Model LX and LXIs').

Does anyone have a tan model G crevice tool? Mine split in half; I glued it with super glue but it didnt hold very good; maybe I should use tape?
What does the late turquoise model G crevice tool (later style) look like? Or is it like the early style one posted by Dysonman?

some type of epoxy meant for plastic would be better than super glue.
The one that you have to mix the two, then apply.
I have used the JB Weld plastic weld in the past. Devcon makes a similar one.
