 Beautiful Canadian-built Model 800 Hoover on ebay, with original dust bag and rubber hand-grip both in nice condition. Not cheap but not in the stratosphere, either. | ||

Bernie- That looks like the original bag to me...I can't see the bottom of it to see if the silver jubilee wording is there, and I also don't know if the Canadian version of this Hoover would have been exactly the same as the North Canton counterpart. Why do you think that the bag is not right? | ||

I think that because I have seen the US version and also the British version. They are very similar in design except for slightly different colors. I would think the Canadian version would follow near the same pattern, why not? The bag on that machine looks like plain genuine Hoover replacement bag. I have seen dozens of them and have had them on my machines, sadly, replacing the lovely original bags.
Just wondering why you think it is original to that machine? Convince me; I freely admit that I don't know everything, but would be curious to know something new and valid. ;-) Thanks for that information. | ||

What I am having a problem understanding is this: Why would the Canadians go through the extra trouble of adding the lovey winged relief and not have used the elaborate 800 bag? Most Hoover original bags, that I've ever seen, were well designed to compliment the machines. If I am not mistaken, Henry Dreyfuss was part of the Hoover coffee-can design team long before he fashioned the streamlined model 150. I believe he took part in the artful designs on the bags as well.
Perhaps we'll get some feedback from some of the other members on this interesting issue. | ||

My thought is that the original colors have faded...but I'm no expert either and know next to nothing about Hamilton produced machines. | ||

 This is the auction in question: Canadian Hoover 800 on eBay
It has the correct, original Hoover bag, with the slide-top.
The bag on the 800 in post 178444 (2 up from this one), and the bag below this post both have the correct pattern for the 800 -- but they, too are the incorrect bag. Those bags are 1933-ish era replacement bags for cleaners that took the bag with the bag-spreader on top (models 102, 541, 543, 700, etc...).

I know the 800 had the slider top with retractable strap hanger. I am simply trying to make the case for the elaborate design on the 800 bag. I know some of the bags in the photos have the scissors hanger top mounts, probably from slightly earlier Hoover models but with the same applique. The silk screened appliques, however, are nearly all the same. My case is, and I don't mind stating it again, that the Ebay Hoover 800 does have a genuine Hoover bag, but, it is not the original bag that came with that machine. It is a genuine Hoover "replacement" bag. In short, this argument is simply centered around the applique.
BTW - if you have any spares, I'd be the first in line. ;-)) Thanks for your input. | ||

Yes, that's the other one. Obviously, the confusion was mine. That posting was updated April 20 and now shows the bag. Looks good but for $400 plus shipping, I'll keep looking. I have a fairly decent 800 that I've been putting back together for the last several years - just need a proper bag and hanger mechanism for it now.

Thank you. I too think the bag is nice for the machine, but you know how we purists can be. Someday my bag will come.
Thanks for posting all the great Eureka ephemera. Your Eureka M is lovely. A nice Eureka M like yours would be hard to find today. Eurekas were not as common as Hoovers. I learned on my mom's D272 but have only seen two of them in the last 10 years. My dad replaced the belt on our's with one that was too tight. The thing smoked and next day went into the trash. I loved that machine and pleaded with my parents in vain not to throw it out. I'd like to have one back again but just don't see them out there.
