Eureka upright rebadged by Montgomery Ward.

[sries]

Here is a cool vacuum I got a long while back. It's a Montgomery Ward rebadged Eureka upright. I have not been able to find any information on it and I'd like some help with it. If any one has one like it please post pictures because I thing they look really cool with the color scheme. I have seen pictures of the canister version with the same colors though but that's the closest thing I've seen.

That vacuum is so cool!!

It's like from slightly alternate universe, or a knock off from the USSR circa early 60's.
I have never seen anything like it, a truely fantastic find, congradulations.

Thanks!

I got it at the habitat for humanity for $10.00 in Oregon. I actually sold it to a guy a while back and then realized I few days later what a mistake I made. Then yesterday I got it back from him by trade of a Hoover fry pan. I'm super glad I got it back!

Its basically

A 250 Eureka,made from about 1950-54 ,in 55 the 255 which was candy apple red came out, what makes these outperform many new mahines, is the Disturbulator brushroll which in my opinion has never been equaled.

I can not believe there is not one scratch on the hood. Those Eurekas were notorious for getting scratched when the user tried to push it under a bed frame or any other short gap under furniture. I wonder if this beauty was repainted or was NIB and never used....

Stunning....

What a beautiful old vacuum! Looks like this had been stored away for years NIB, one would think. Sries, I am glad you were able to get the vacuum back once you realized your mistake. I think that would be a keeper FOR SURE in any collection.

Thank you for the compliments

When I got it it was covered in dust. At first when I saw it at the thrift store it looked like it was a Hoover convertible. Then when I got closer I realized it was a eureka upright. After I got it home and got all the dirt off I saw that it was rebadged! I haven't even polished it yet.
