Very nice, and how great to have the original hose! It may be tempting to cut the ends off for a replacement hose but I urge you not to do so. These hoses with the hammertone blue end are very rare --- you HARDLY ever find them.
btw the handle end was replaced at some point, maybe by the "Friendly Electrolux Man." The original E hose did not have a bleed valve on it to requlate suction. The first machine to have that was the E-Automatic.
