On the bottom of the machine in the housing there will be a round marking with some numbers, this should be a datecode.

Was it early 80s that these would have plastic handle?This one might be late 70s.I wonder what Chinese vac replaced it.

Indeed, if has a metal 2-piece handle it is from the late 1970's. A plastic handle would suggest early 1980's.

The style of outer bag makes me think this is from 1976 or 1977.
