"Somebody coined the moniker 'Golden' Jubilee and it stuck."
It seems that it was someone working for Electrolux that coined "Golden J", as I've seen it used in the company's introductory literature of the Super J.
Electrolux USA was unique at the time in the worldwide brand in labeling its vacuum cleaners (albeit Hoover began doing it in the late 1950s). Electrolux Sweden, France, the UK, Canada, and others stayed with only using model IDs. The "Super J" label was necessary due to the continuation of the gold color theme. One wonders why the company opted to do so along with the "J" moniker rather than changing it and simply touting the new model 1401's superior performance in its sales pitches. The term Jubilee wasn't even used in the owner's manual--it just states that Electrolux had been manufacturing for over a half century. Most customers would have been lost on the gold coloring and "J" without a salesperson's explanation. Its continuation may therefore be that Electrolux had initially counted on a longer run of the 50th Jubilee cleaner and therefore had stockpiled an abundance of harvest gold covers and honeygold end caps. Anyway, while "Golden J" is sometimes used as a reference to the gold model 1205, the label is "50th Jubilee".
