Glad that the 2291 is going to someone who will appreciate it as part of his collection! The initial cleaning did suggest that it still has vintage value. Your generosity, texaskirbyguy, is commendable!
For fun and to give some historical perspective, I'm attaching the vacuum cleaner page from the Sears Fall/Winter 1965 Catalog. It appears that the 1½ HP canister was a predecessor to the 2291. Note that the term 'Magicord' hadn't yet been created. Too bad the model number was omitted.
