I have always thought the Dual Sanitronic 50 was named so to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Kirby. I have a plate, pictured below that leads me to that conclusion. If the plate isn't correct than why did they make it? It has the date range of 1915 to 1965.  The 50th anniversary would probably more like 1966 but the Dual 50 was sold in 1966 so it was just a bit early. As far as the Dual 80 goes, I can't guess as to what it means. I know the first Kirby wasn't produced until the late 20's or early 30's but I think Kirby uses the date of 1915 as their start date.  The 100th anniversary for Kirby is happening in 2014 which would coincide with a start year of 1915.
