A. Geier" on its nameplate, and so might we think these two models only had "Royal Appliance Mfg. Co." on the nameplate by the time the "lady bug scheme" was phased out? The early '50s Royals seemed to have black trim almost throughout (bumpers, cord, handle, et al). By the late '50s most of that particular trim became gray.Lady bug scheme = red/black bag and red/black belt cover (normal version for 153 and 601, and Adjust-O-Rite for 801).~Ben</blockquote>
