Toby...now I am officially drooling on my keyboard....
That first generation Empress II is just beautiful - that avocado green was used on a great series of Eureka's in the late 1960's. Thanks for the answer on the Empress I tools. I hear that these machines were not the greatest performers and leaked dust a lot - too bad. I'd give anything to see that Empress II commercial once again - or maybe even get the commercial on DVD or download it from the internet. I bet you the ad agency has them digitized for their archives....if I could remember the ad agency now (Young and Rubicam?)
Hello Doug on the Canadian prairies! Thanks for the detailed information. I actually think your website is great - especially for those great shots of Eureka and Viking vacs. Thanks for all the work you do for that website - I have it as a "Favourite."
Thank you Jeff for the warm welcome. Until I get a home of my own, my collection will have to be limited to photos and shelf nic-nacs. I think I will start a collection from eBay - you know, promotional stuff like salt and pepper shakers, measuring tapes and ashtrays. I may decide to buy some vintage Eureka ads too, and frame those for my apartment walls.
For the real stuff, I'll have to live vicariously through you guys!
