"Vintage" Eurekas

Toby...that looks "princely" enough to me!

Though I won't be convinced until I see the word "Prince" on top of a Eureka canister vac, I will definitely allow this unit to take the name for the meantime! What a beautiful classic 1960's "H" bag vac. It's got all the deluxe tools (do I see a square horse-hair dusting brush?) and a "much ado about nothing" Vibra Beat carpet nozzle. I would bet that this is from 1966 or 1967, as it also has the Cordaway cord reel.

Just curious....do the tools store in a red tray inside the unit, or did it come with a cardboard tool caddy?

Me wants this one for myself one day!

Thank you for bringing it onto the discussion board.

Hi Eurekaprince! The vac is a Model 745, yes, you do see the square horsehair dusting brush, and the tools would have originally stored in the plastic tray. Unfortunately, the plastic tray is MIA, but I'm hopeing to dig one up someday. Later, Trg

Which dusting brush is exactly like the one shown with the Eureka Prince? There are 2 versions of horsehair Eureka dusting brushes.
