Can anyone tell me a little more about this vacuum? This was my daily driver for about 20 years. I sold it a few years ago and now I have a little seller remorse... this was before I was interested too much in vacuums I just wanted something retro.

In searching through the archives I don't see too much. I have seen a few vintage advertisements but nothing for this specific model. I am guessing it is from the early 50s. It was very much the like the vintage GE I recently got.

I think it went to a good home. I didn't give it away. I wouldn't be surprised if the buyer wasn't a member of this club though it has never resurfaced as far as I can tell.

I remember wanting a vintage vacuum to go along with my overall vintage decor in my apartment, and picked this up at a thrift store in Los Angeles about 1987 for $15. I was looking for a Kirby but this was close enough.

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Your Premier was the first post-WWII Premier to hit the market (late 1945). The style would be changed within about a year. That particular style had debuted in about 1939, though the coloring was different on the pre-War models. The black-and-steel motor hood with pin-striped bag would quickly be replaced by a more updated plastic headlight shroud and reddish bag styling. </span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">If I can find the old ads I have, I'll scan (part) of them and post them here. The full ad is too large to be scanned by my scanner. Hope that helps...John L.</span>
