NatVac International made a good attempt at copying the Hoover packaging.

Who could forget the home care Hoover bags. Leaked dust like a sieve and clogged like a pinched soda straw.
Eureka F bags & G bags
Tom,
Do you have any separate packages of Eureka F bags and G bags before they were combined as F & G? I believe Jimmy mentioned that one was for the cloth outer bag style and the other was for vinyl. Did the F & G debut in the '60s?

Hi Paul,
My dad bought my mom a blue Eureka Super Automatic 260 upright in either 1960 or 1961. It had a cloth outer bag. From the very first years of owning the cleaner, we always used genuine top fill Eureka F & G bags.

Speaking of bags
I remember reading something about Electrolux having hand made inner bags where the collars were glued on by a person instead of an assembly line. Can anyone elaborate on this?

There is a vintage pack of generic H Style bags for Eureka Princess canisters (shows up sometimes on eBay) that I absolutely love! Why? It has a picture of a very rare Eureka Prince vacuum with two rubber bumpers, one around the bottom of the canister and a second one around the top. Very very rare version of Eureka’s famous Princess cleaner. I would buy that old pack of generic bags just to file away that picture!!!

Made in the USA, packaged in Canada. Brought back to the USA for sale. What a crazy ride.

They are as orange as Tang. Sunbeam bags were made of very good materials.
