wow what a lux

[charles~richard]

Well,

while we're looking at "mint" XXXs in the box, what to wondering eyes should appear but.. <br
p.s. this is not a 1939 Electrolux, it's the 1949-52 model. The photos themselves document this in many ways, the most evident is the cloth bag. Listed in the available accessories are the Companion, Polisher, GarmentAire, and Cord Winder - all of which were first introduced in 1949 <br
I =believe= the postage cancellation might be 1959, not 1939 -- look at the photo of the cancellation very closely. Or is it a 4 (1949) ?? Don't think so - looks like a 3 or a 5, but more like a 5 to me. Suggesting, perhaps, that Electrolux was still selling XXXs as late as 1959? <br
Either that, or the carton is 10 years older than the machine..
