LOL yes there are diffrences but the main point was the condition one restored one not lol.
The model R has the early model R/Early model C belt cover on so it needs changing. Will do that once I get round to restoring the R model kirby.
I got the trainners/sneakers from a shop lol;o)
There size 9/10 over here which is size 10/11 in the USA I think...
No one is saying what year !!! I like the detail differences
especially now that I know one was a retail model and the other was the door to door model. As I am older then most
of you in age. Have been a Kirby fan since seeing my grand-
mothers brand new model 512 (hint on my age). Plus the fact that I do
have a Sanotric from the late 20s?? with the straight suction
head nozzle. I can only deduct that the R & C shown would be
the 1930's? I need a Kirby Chart. I have to see one for "real", turn it on, run it, to emblazon into my aging
mind to really lock in on dates and models !
It's just me ! I am such a visual man !

Norm I am working on it -- there is such a chart on my Kirby 500 series web page but I need to update it and add the info I've gotten from these recent pre-500 model threads.
