Whats yours? ;]

Mine would have to be a Hollandia (UK branding) made by a company from the DDR, or East Germany which was then part of the Warsaw Pact, I believe it's from 1974 (don't hold me to this, the Rating Plate is just a little metal plate that says DDR then has the voltage, wattage, and that double insulated logo.

Probably my Bison or my GE Roll-Easy...although those are more common than I suppose your's would be. My strangest though might actually be my Kirby 515, because it is not only that, but has parts from a Dual 80, a 505, a Sanitronic (I think), and possibly some others. I will post a picture to show the different parts.

The entire front of the vacuum (the detachable head) is from a 505, the headlight trim is from a Dual 80 and possibly the headlight hood is from a 505, the fan housing is from a 515 (which has the nameplate, so I call it my 515), the wheels are from a 505 (I think) the motor is probably from a 505 (the switch is one of the few ways of knowing, I think), the Sani-Emptor I am not sure of, but it does have the gray bottom to it, and the other parts I really am not too sure of. So here is a picture. Maybe some Kirby aficionados can tell me what else is on here. It is a cool vacuum, and it means a lot to me, as one of my dad's friends gave it to me, and I believe it was her mother's. It was also the first vacuum I got. So there you go!
