Brandon - Very cool. You did a good job on the video, too.
The steel sticker on the tank has nothing to do with the Steelers. It was a symbol stuck on many steel products in the 70's to indicate that real US steel was used in the product. I believe the original emblem denoted that the steel came from Pittsburgh, and I think that's how the team came to use it years later. | ||

Hi there Rob in Orillia! :-)
Actually, I think that the Hoover Celebrity was inspired by this circular Sunbeam and the Eureka Crown Princess, both of which were on the market at least 5 to 7 years before Hoover started making the Celebrity. I think these Sunbeam "saucer" vacs were in stores even in 1965...... EP Brian | ||

Wow, that early eh?
Well, wonders never cease! Then again, I am not as knowledgeable as others are about the Sunbeam brand....all I know is, it looked to me like a cheap knockoff of the Celebrity. And I can always blame the vacshop guy for having bad information- he said one time these particular Sunbeam vacs came around around 1974 or 1975. So, there's my out- I can always blame him for thinking the Celebrity came out first & the Sunbeam was a copycat, LOL.

Rob!!! No worries! Vacuumland is a great place for fine tuning our knowledge of vacs!!! :-) We probably know more here about them then most of the nasty vac shop owners in Toronto (trust me...I know from experience!).
Thanks Doug for the additional information! I could swear I remember seeing a brown Sunbeam saucer-vac at my cousin's home in the mid 1960's - and you just confirmed that! Nice to see so many fellow Canucks here by the way... :-) | ||
