The very first vacuum cleaner I remember my Mum getting was a McDonald Electric upright.
I must have been four or five when my Dad brought home a plain brown cardboard box containing said cleaner which required some assembly. The cloth bag had a very distinctive smell that became stronger as the cleaner was used. Oh to be able to smell that scent again!
I believe Oreck used the design for their early models, but I could be wrong.
