Here's a little eBay goody, a Mary Dunbar vacuum cleaner from the late great Jewel Tea Company. Who made it?

Eureka, without a doubt! Looks like the maroon and gray roto-matics in the christmas adv. from the early 50's!

There is one of these machines actually two of these on ebay right now as we speak

Eureka is what I thought too, and I did notice the other machine also. I saw one of those rock bottom Whirlwind "Swivel Tops" recently.

I think it might still be on ebay
go to ebay.com
type in vintage vacuum cleaners
click on buy it now
and the whirlwind should be on one of the pages

I did see the Whirlwind again, when I went through the vintage vacuums. Even a really nice one of those somehow looks scary.

I could not trust one of them reason being is that the bags rip too easy and then the dirt goes through the motor and next thing you know you smell something starting to burn though the roto matic was a really nice design
