Filter Queen Anniversary models

[countryguy]

A friend of mine was visiting and telling me that he has a 40th anniversary model that his mom purchased new in 1986. Right on the vacuum it says 40th 1945 - 1985. On the FQ website it says it was founded in 1928 so a 40th model would be in 1968? Also I have seen the 75th anniversary model around 2006 give or take a few years. Does anyone know the timeline?

Thanks,

Gary

I bet

The difference is that's a Canadian built model and I will bet you they started in 45, The FIRST Filter Queen in the US, came out in 39, before that they were Health Mor uprights made by Royal.
