Eureka Roto-Matic 800 Style,
Would anyone happen too have a picture of the very last 800 style Eureka canister... they were two tone blue,the hose was blue with white tracers and had a white machine end that went into the top of the vacuum just like on a Eureka 910.?

Thanks!!!

I must confess: I am drawing a blank with this one. In Vacuumland thread 7759, Aeolian Dave shows a late 1950’s green 800 Roto-Matic to match the other green and gold Eurekas for the company’s 50th anniversary in 1959. Not sure how to link you to thread 7759. But I have never seen a blue and white 800 in the styling of the early 1960’s. This will be am interesting thread!!!

Scroll down to post 86810 of the thread in the attached link and you’ll see the green and white version of the 800 series narrow Roto-Matic. I only know of the later 900 series Super Roto-Matic in blue and white.

I am not sure, but I think I have one,

I do have the first 3 versions of the 800, used one the other day, the first was dark green, second red with a small dolly, the third, 1955 has a larger more stable dolly and the switch is up higher on the cleaner body, I also have 2 green ones, one is a Jewel Tea, Mary Dunbar.When I feel better I will go see if I don't have a blue one, I'm in bed with a Kidney Stone right now!

Oh....okay....glad you’ve got some pain relief....maybe get out a stash of old Sears catalogues to read while you are laid up? I find pics of old vacuums can cheer me up when I’m not feeling good. :-D
