If you have an Electrolux model 347 then that is quite rare. They were made for the Electricity Board stores and would originally have had a moulded plug. Two versions exist; one has a large gloss-finish bag cover which sits over the top of the cleaner, like the 350E in your photo. The later version has a smaller matt-finish bag cover which sits flush with the sides of the machine.

These cleaners had two brown plastic tubes. If you are really lucky, you will have the 3rd very short plastic tube (it is less than a foot long) which was supplied with this machine.

Hi. If the flip tool is the floor tool, this is not the correct one for the 347, because although it was supplied with the most basic of all plastic tool kits, it did in fact have the same floor tool supplied with the 380/390 and 2000 series.

In that case, I take it all back. Yours is not basic as such, rather the 'later' version. I admit I never knew it came with that tool on later models. Does the hose have a metal end? And are the tools black or brown?

Ah i see. Thanks. Of all the exclusive Electrolux cleaners made for the Electricity Boards, this seems to have been one of the most popular I think.

Do you hope to get some Hoover Seniors (Convertibles)? Those, in my opinion, were among the best vacuum cleaners of all time!
