Who knows Kenmore?

[hooverkid]

So recently the great people over on automatic washer helped me pick out my 1965 Kenmore wringer washing machine and I got to wondering what kenmore labeled vacuums would have been selling at that time? I'm not very familiar with who sears had contracted with to make kenmore labeled at that time so any info would be appreciated!

After Sears organized the hostile takeover of Birtman Electric in 1958, Whirlpool built Kenmore vacuums until they sold their vacuum division to Panasonic in the 1980's.
