That is a beautiful specimen!!!! I love that machine, one of my dream machines. I remember the good old days at Sears when at the local mall the vacuums were kitty-corner from the washers and dryers. Oh the good old days. I also remember them using a beach ball held up by a stream of air from a Kenmore vacuum in the vacuum department. Anyone else remember that? These Lady Kenmores that belong to Robert in Minneapolis could very well have been at the store with that vacuum at the same time. In "pank" no less. Popular color at the time and fabulous!!!! Ah yes, when Sears was great.
