By Eureka, the most difficult thing to work on I have ever tackled, but it does look and run good !!

Here in Canada, I seem to remember that Simpsons-Sears sold a line of appliances labelled "Lady Kenmore." Was this brand-name ever used in the USA? Were vacs ever labelled Lady Kenmore? Am I remembering incorrectly?

Those are awesome Hans

I really love the Kenmore canister in the forefront in reply # 1.   It is identical, all the way down to the triangular shaped dusting brush,   to the one my mother had when she was killed in an auto accident when I was 4, and the vacuum that started my love of them.  I have been looking for one like it for what seems like forever, and have come close.  The one pictured below I received from another member on this forum a few years ago, and while I really do like it, it just isn't the same.  All the attachments are correct, except it doesn't have the triangular dusting brush, and the tool caddy isn't removable.  Also, the carry handle on the front is missing.  Some day I know I'll get lucky and find that machine.

Eureka!

Emperor and Empress! Both unique machines - the Empress was made by Panasonic and the Emperor had a unique GE motor that was 'upside down' (the carbon brushes were closest to the bag, the fans were by the exhaust - like an Air-Way model 66 motor).

What great photos & machines, Hans!! Question -- did your Model E in the box come with the original hose? I'd love to see a photo of it, if it did.
