Not sure how I added a "link" in reply #1, but didn't intend to do so.

Hi Paul,

I don’t think the blue Eureka in the first photo is an S-250 from 1950. I think it’s a 260 from at least 10 years later. I may be wrong, but I really think the blue one is from the early 1960’s….it’s similar to the 260 we had when I was a toddler (though ours had a white motor hood, not chrome)….

Hi Brian,

That could be - no manufacturer's plate was shown.
