Eureka and the three "stripes" or contours
Okay...now I finally have some early "archaeological" evidence of a style trend that seems to have constantly been visible on Eureka vacuum cleaners since the early days of the company: It is a design feature that always shows up as three lines or three contours. In this 1930's vintage upright, we see it very plainly and in clear view - three parallel stripes down the top and front of the hood. The "trio" design element seems to have been repeated over the decades. Just take a look at any Eureka upright (and some canisters, for that matter) and you will see some "trio" of repeating lines or contours. The hordes of "F&G" "Dial-A-Nap" uprights throughout the 1960's and 1970's had a three level contour on the motor hood - like the podium of an Olympic Games Medal ceremony.
Can you guys come up with any reason for Eureka's industrial designers to consistently add some "trio" feature to their vacs? Was it because the word "Eureka" has three syllables? Any thoughts on this mysterious design element? | ||

Hey Jason - What you have there is either a Eureka Model M or a Model R. They looked very similar to each other, except for a few features. There should be a plate on the back or the bottom of the machine with the Model #.
Brian - I have never even thought about the "Trio" theme on Eureka products, but you are right. It must be some kind of company secret? | ||
