Mint 1957 kirby on eBay for only $2,200!!!!!!

OK. Is it just me or does this seem a little delusional? The term mint has a very specific meaning which does NOT apply to this vacuum. Though it is in very nice shape overall and is rather complete, it also very clearly shows some of the typical signs of use. Furthermore, had it actually been in 'mint' condition, you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a collector willing to pay this sellers pie in the sky fantasy wishing price. I hope he likes this machine, because he's likely to have it for a long time. Ads like this serve no real purpose beyond their entertainment value; which is of course why I posted it here. :)

Hi Erik!

The Eureka Easy Glide upright was a lightweight vacuum - or more like Eureka's version of General Electric's electric carpet sweeper. Everything is contained in the base - the motor sucked in air through a tiny disposable dust-bag and the other end of the motor had a drive shaft to spin the brush roll.

The model seems to be Model 210 - which seemed to be retreating to the 200 series of model numbers that Eureka used for uprights in the early 1960's. I think this Easy Glide was sold in the late 1960's at the same time as the Eureka Emperor upright which was made for them by Panasonic in Japan. It could be that this electric carpet sweeper was also made by Panasonic - not sure.

Hope this helps!
 
W.T. Grant "Bradford" Princess Canister by Eureka

Wow - I knew Eureka vacs were badged with private retailer names like Eaton's "Viking," The Bay's "Baycrest" and "Beaumark", JCPenney, Montgomery Ward, Firestone and Western Auto....

but "Bradford" for the W.T. Grant chain of stores?

From Wikipedia: "Grant's store-branded electronic and other goods were named "Bradford" after Bradford County, Pennsylvania, the county where William Thomas Grant was born."

Lookie here! A Princess labelled Bradford.....excellent condition too! :-) But no hose or tools... :-(
