Eureka upright and Airway canister Values

[mf2012]

I have two older vacuum's that I am looking to sell and am looking for approximate values of each. I have the Eureka upright, which I am told the tools in the picture belong to it. I also have the airway canister vac as well.

Any idea on values of these units as well as any interest in the market on these two vacuums?

Thank you in advance for the information!

Your Eureka Automatic Upright is probably Model 260 from the early 1960's. The graphic on the bag and tool port cover tells me it's a later version of the 260....maybe from 1961 or 1962. In those days, they sold for about $100 with the tool set.

Though an excellent vacuum cleaner, a collector will only pay according to his level of desire to have one and according to his/her budget. Of course, everything will depend on the details: the condition of the motor and bag and tool set and rubber bumper, the presence of original parts like the famous Disturbulator brush roll and the original blue cord, etc.

The long metal tube to the left of the box, the box that says Airway, and the glass bottle part underneath the box are parts for the Airway vac.

The box with the blue hose and similar parts, including the box they are in, are part of the Eureka. There may be other parts in there that belong to the Airway, too.

You need to separate the parts accordingly so people can see what is actually included with each machine.

They are both machines from the 1960s, making them 50+ years old.

Here is a sample listing for an Airway, currently up on Ebay.

Good luck to you.
