Was my Grandmother's. Still works. Sorry, no attachments or box. Please respond if you're looking to add to your collection, or if you're a new collector.

We had one of those when I was little. It was a late '50s version (model 130?) with a pink motor housing and charcoal gray tank with an attached roller base. The tools were pink to match the motor housing. The last time I saw the thing was about 20 years ago when my parents were in the process of moving. The vacuum was still in great shape but the plastic hose was shot. I assume it got donated along with a bunch of other stuff they didn't take with them. Now, it's deja vu time all over again as they're moving into an apartment at a retirement community, downsizing from a 3,500 sq ft house down to a 1,300 sq ft apartment and once again triaging through their possessions.
