It's interesting to learn of the boxtop bags, I'd never seen those until you or someone posted some once before. I didn't think any actual Hoovers had them. I've always liked the more tapered Hoover styles, I didn't like the bags as well when they got "wider."
It's also nice to learn about #7. I was going to ask what that was.
I remember those brown Eureka style canisters when I worked at JCPenneys (early 80s). At that time we were still pretty much a Sears "clone" as far as what we sold and it was a wonderful place in many ways. They'd already scaled back quite a bit by the time I left, leaving basically the softlines retailer we see today.
I still shop there and get some good buys from time to time, and it's nice they still do the catalog. I like them for bedding and certain clothing items, though sadly their housewares area is a mere shadow of what it once was. They were actually the last to come out with the catalog, and now are the last remaining. Also one of the few places that still does made to measure window treatments.
