Kenmore Imperial

is a very cool and VERY rare machine. You're quite fortunate to have one. As to the bag, I don't suppose they were made that way originally but probably as the fabric aged, it may have gotten stretched out one way or another. The one on mine is perfectly straight.

Wait until you polish it up and see what a gorgeous blob of glistening chrome it becomes!

I am in the mist of restoreing it

I just got finished buffing it today I will put more pics on soon

Does anybody have a spare bag for one of these? Mine has a bojack black bag with no writing. I would love to have the one that's correct for this machine. Crooked or not....

nos bags lol

good luck finding one I once was in a shop that had rooms full of nos parts and they had a wall of nos bags stuff dateing all the way back to the 30s the guy new the one I was talking about but he never thought to buy any dew to the fact that all most no one had that vacuum and he had the shop sence the 30s no one ever asked him for a part for that vacuum may be you could make a bag for that vacuum or find one vacuum that is just parts but good luck
ps one of mine has a bojack bag too
