Kirby Parts Mailer

[kirbyclassiciii]

Anyone remember the Kirby parts mailers? Both of these are capped with the headline, "Keep Your Kirby Operating at Peak Efficiency."

On them is the list of common replacement parts, and these parts are inner dust bags (specify which model: Tradition=style 1; Heritage 1HD=style 2; Heritage II/Legend II 2HD=style 3), belts and brushrolls. The mailer to the left is from 1980, which covers the Tradition model only, while the mailer to the right is from 1988, which covers not only the Tradition but also the Heritage and Heritage II (Legend).

Here's the parts that are made mention of in the 1980 mailer:
190679 = Disposable Filter Bag, package of 3
