More And can anyone tell me if the bag on the Franken Hoover Model 63 is the First Convertible 65 Bag? It does say "Citation" on it but it is narrow like the later Convertibles. |

Holy crap, Chad! I think you practiced remarkable restraint, considering the selection. That Citation bag is definitely a rarity. It's looks like a hybrid of the Citation plus the Convertible. That box o' supplies will come in handy, too. I bet some of those brush strips are hard to find now.
Congratulations. |

Yes, they were wider at the top. I wonder, also, if that bag is a Convertible-era replacement bag for the Citation, as you suggested. I think all the original Citation bags had the built-in metal hanger connection on the top, similar to the Model 63 hanger (except in tan). Maybe they started making those molded-top, narrowed bags in '57, etc.
Fascinating. |

Better picture of the "divits" next to the spring on my model 36 bag. Also a different vinyl material and hole pattern than the earlier model 32 bag. |
