When Kirby introduced the all new red and gray color themed model 508 in 1948 , with a brand new “Kirby Kabinet” , they also introduced a new Suction Coupler. That suction coupler was very different to any of their previous or future models . It is larger in size and has an additional permanent part inside , probably to help with suction .
Attached is a picture of a 508 coupler and a “normal “ 509 coupler ,

Note:
This came with a model 508 in a box with all the attachments .
Has any one seen this coupler before ?
