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... :-(

I'm going to be putting a really fair/nice Lux Renny on ebay in the near future. If anyone is interested let me know and we can do a private deal. I will most likely do free shipping.

I can send pics to those interested.
