The oddball stuff. What's that canister at the bottom? Singer? I do have the first vac shown, the one with the storage. |

Hi Joe! That bottom canister looks more like a Douglas or a Shetland to me. Remember the Shetland that you could supposedly snap out the old components and replace them with new if it needed repair. Later, Trg |

Love those old catalogs, bet all those vacs had the Penncrest name on them. And I think you're right, that #6 does look like a G.E. Premier. Back in those days Penney's was a good place for the average guy to shop, with quality merchandise at reasonable prices. Now they've gone to designer merchandise at designer prices!!! I especially love the old Spiegel and Alden's catalogs, as they always had several different brands of vacs and other appliances. And did you ever notice, that the vacuums are always on the pages right before or right after the sewing machines? Jeff |

The bottom canister is a Douglas, I have one I can take a few pictures of if anyone is interested. |

Hi All! Joe, did you ever find any more of the tools for the Shetland you have? Tim, that number 7 upright is a GE, I have the same machine in my collection under the Premier name, and Compact, I for one would like to see pictures of that Douglas canister. Later, Trg |

That green GE is for sale on e-bay now by that guy that got all the vacs from his grandfathers store. Funny, I have never seen another one in all these years, and have seen two this week. Tim |
