elektrolux on ratingplate but electrolux on badge

[vaclover]

Hi guys. ive got a za55 electrolux, on the ratingplate it says AB Elektrolux, but on the badge on top it says electrolux made in sweden. why is the one spelled with a k and one with c?may it be a mistake at the factory?

Hope you guys have a Happy Festive Season.

Regards

Ok so this means its pre-1957?

If i have the dates correct on this machine its made in 1949? But i cant understand why its electrolux on the globe sign on top but elektrolux on the ratingplate.

While the company itself was still going by the Elektrolux name they branded the vacuums with Electrolux or, on their lower line models, Electrux. The company name on the information plate remained the same in both cases though.

Oh - and the model 55 was made from 1949 - 1955 if memory serves me.
