I have a hunch that it was made in Ohio for the Mexican market. I notice it is rated for 127 volts, 50 - 60 Hz.

If it was made in Ohio, how did it stay in Ohio?

Someone bought it in Mexico and later moved to the US. Could have been an immigrant or someone from the US whos job took them to Mexico for a spell. Ohio built Hoovers were sold in the UK in 240 volt form with British plugs. The same way the French made Sensotronic was sold in the US briefly as the Electronic 1000. Hoover made a market specific model for Mexico. It's not like they had to ship them very far. Hoover was a global brand back then.
