Thanks for the answer, Fred! No, the hose and adapter are color matched and all parts say made in Canada. Do any of oour Canadians have any comments? I'll post picture soon-new computer and haven't use the card reader yet! | ||

The "Made in Canada" label on this equipment is very interesting. I also found "Made in Canada" attachments sold with Eureka vacs in American stores.
Before the North American Free Trade Agreement (late 1980's?), Hoover and Eureka and Electrolux USA were forced to sell vacs in Canada that were made at separate Canadian factories. This helped the Canadian economy and also insured that there would be bilingual English and French documentation and sales material. But I guess at some point, Hoover and Eureka realized that it was beneficial to just bring any Canadian-made attachments across the border to ship with US made machines. The Hoover plants were not far away - in Hamilton, Ontario and North Canton, Ohio. The Eureka plants had a one-day drive between them too - from Kitchener, Ontario to Bloomington, Illinois. Look inside any Eureka bare floor brush with the attached neck made after 1975 - they all have "Made in Canada" embossed on them! | ||
