This is a prize! Absolutely a keeper. You can't carve this one up Mark.

I have vivid memories of that vacuum in the Sears Roebuck in Scranton, PA in the 50's. When you walked in the front door of the downtown Sears it was right in the front display. And I remember it standing out because of the color.
