Two mystery vacuum bags

[stricklybojack]

.
I found these two at a thrift store but had no idea what they fit,
any ideas?

I think the second is a Eureka from the 80s I want to say style Z ?

You're correct on bag 2, Eureka style Z!

I believe the other is a Hoover type W bag by the looks of it, the end with the cardboard collar went over the fill tube, and there was a clamp for the tip, you folded it over and put the clamp on it to prevent it from leaking.

I remembered trying to find them! Mom and I both had one.

I am in need of the Type-W vacuum bags you found. I have a model 60 Hoover up-right that uses the Handi-Sac/Type-W bags. Please let me know if you are interested in selling them. Just joined this site and I'm loving all the information and knowledge of others into vacuums. My e-mail & other info. can be found in my profile. Awaiting your reply. Happy New Year to You!!!!

I didn't buy these mystery bags..

.
but i will be going to that store again in a week or two and they probably will still be there. They likely have been there for years. Sadly the big thrifts i frequent, like Goodwill and Salvation Army do not sell bags or loose attachments. Some even less. I once donated a Filter Queen 360 body and motor, returned to the store wanting to check the pockets of a suitcase i had also donated only to find most of what i had given them was in the dumpster including the Filter Queen!

I agree.

They look like the Hoover "handisac {W} bags." GRAB THEM!!!

Eureka Dusting Brush

The dusting brush on the bag went to the following Eureka models:

Eureka Whirlwind
Eureka Powerline (Commercial and household)
Eureka Bravo!

Would like all the type W bags you can find

Hey Stricklybojack....If you go back to the thrift store and they still have the Type-W vacuum bags, could you please buy all of them for me? I'll gladly reimburse you for them & make arrangements with you for shipment! Thanks!!!! Jay...AKA Sweeper-nv.

Hoover Handisac

These were the finest bags ever made in my book, I use them in ALL my uprights..the material used is a felt like paper that breathes like no other...and you can use them over and over again.

 

[stricklybojack]

Sure

Will buy/send. Yes they seemed so heavy duty I thought they might not even be meant for a vacuum.

 

[stricklybojack]

Got the W bags...

and probably the rarest vacuum i have yet found..I will creat another thread about it soon.
