Need help identifying my vintage Kirby

[eanderson1009]

Hello all…can anyone help one identify the model/year of my Kirby? Sorry for the pictures being sideways. THANK YOU so much for your time and help.

I noticed on the right side it has the push on/off switch instead of the toggle style switch. So it's either a model 513,514, or 515. Hopefully this helps.

Also it's either made between 1953 or 1955.

THANK YOU! This is very helpful, thank you so much. I am listing it for sale on eBay.

Personally, I wouldn't bother listing it. It's a hot mess.

Mean everyone wants a bojack brown classic mid 500 series carpet fluffer.

Oh boy, here we go again with the "I just got this vacuum, tell me what I have so I know it's very rare and I can list it on eBay for $900"

PS: If it still has the model nameplate it will be on the bottom of the cleaner.
