Well, Hans certainly set the model example for "how to be a good friend" with all those gifts! Geez, couldn't everyone use such a nice, generous man like Hans in their life? 
Seriously though, that Lady Kenmore looks very nice! That will be a easy restoration, just dirt, discoloration and light rust spots that will be easily taken care of with a little light scrubbing and perhaps a repaint. One thing I am a little surprised at with it's design though is the coiled cord - one would think that they would have put a hose cord and cord straps on the hose like Electrolux eventually did in 1962 with the Model G. I do like the fact that you can take it off the cart and use it as a conventional canister, good design there.
I would hold onto that Canadian Electrolux loaf canister for a while - haven't seen that cord rewinder with the brass circle Electrolux nameplate in the middle before. That must be VERY RARE, or a early example that was discontinued early.
