It seems like a strange question, true.
Once upon a time I owned a simple, rugged little vacuum that I purchased second-hand. Years later it was ruined by mice that got into it and pissed and it rusted through. I cannot for the life of my remember what its brand name was.
It was a canister of the simplest design there is, the cylinder on casters. It was yellow-and-white striped, sort of like a barber pole or rather more like the container of a certain brand of toothpaste whose manufacturer I again cannot call to mind. It had a white hose, thick rubber around a wire coil and fitted for a power nozzle; the machine attachment place was a simple bayonet connector like on Filter Queen or certain Royal canisters. I think the hose had some texture to it. I probably still have the hose, and the incredibly beat-up power nozzle I used with it. The exhaust port was suited to receive the hose.
One other identifying detail was that it wanted ridiculously obscure bags; they had a plastic piece where normal bags have cardboard and were the exact shape to fit in to the machine's insides. The front plate had a short tube with a rubber gasket on it that fit the bag. I think they were a pale blue-green, with the plastic bit being un-dyed white plastic. They had no printing on them whatsoever, and an unusual texture.
Can anyone tell me what this might have been?
