On the model 375 was actually deep.gray with a wide black band at.the center, in which.the words, "The Hoover, It Beats As It Sweeps As It Cleans" appeared, very much like the original bags on the American models 150 and 25. |

Great Hoover 375. I prefer the pre war 375 Hoover junior than the one that continued after the war.
I'm sure you will have your Hoover 375 cleanned up in a flash. Make sure you post pics after. Make sure you put your name on the pic or someone might nick it to use on ebay. James:o) Here's my pre war 375 Hoover junior. |

It looks like yours is a pre-war model as it has the complete black stripe down the front, post war models just had the black cover. Pre-war also had the narrow wheels & height adjustment, post war had much wider wheels. The original bag is as shown on James's picture, I have seen similar replacement bags but in black and no red underlining but there were a wide variety of replacement bags. Yours does not look like it has the original bag, but thats no surprise for a cleaner thats 70+ years old. Still well worth having as they perform well :) Al |

I have seen that style if bag sereral times before and, as it carries the Hoover logo it may have been a later genuine Hoover replacement. From the looks of it the flex is a replacement too, but that is easily and safely changed back to black. I cannot swear to it, but I think that is an earlier style handle too which may date it closer to 1937 than 1939, even if that was when it was bought
