Hi Nick-P
Actually the Electrolux floor brush is very common. Looking at the rubber trim I place it at the end of the run for the model XXX (December 1937 to October 1952).
This tool was first designed about 1933 by Gustaf E. Lofgren for the model X11 (12) and was standard till the model E replaced it around 1954/55 with the combination rug/floor tool. As for the wands, they look like the steel wands also common with the X11, XXX, XX, LX/LXI, and E. It wasn't till the later models like the AF, or the G, that aluminum wands were introduced. Certainly by the time the 1205 was being sold. Most of us have at least the basic Electrolux tools in our collections. They are a dime a dozen! | ||

Nice Dial-a-Nap there!
The brandname font on the Dial-a-Nap plate is your key to dating this. Your vac shows the new 1980's font, but I know that at some point the letters were slanted / italicized. Can't remember if the slanted version came first or not...but my guess is mid to late 1980's. In the early 1980's, the Eureka Company was still using their old classic Eureka Williams graphics with the curvey "E" logotype. | ||

Just researched the timing of the debut of the new Eureka font by Electrolux. It actually began appearing on the first Mighty Mite canisters and the first Express canisters, which is about 1982 and 1983. So I would date this commercial vac to be from about that time. The font quickly became slanted a few years later, maybe by the mid 1980's.
Interesting tid-bit - this DialaNap does not have the usual cooling vents on the hood! These vents appeared in the late 1970's on all the Dial-A-Nap uprights that had Eureka's classic three level "Olympic podium" upright motor hood. Wonder if Eureka stopped making them with vents because of problems with cleaning fluids dropping on the hood and leaking onto the motor below....hmmmmm.... | ||

Brian (EurekaPrince),
The Express line of canisters first came out in 1986, as Eureka's answer to the Hoover Dimension series which itself showed up for 1985. But you are correct that the Mighty Mite compacts did bear the newer (and thus then-current) Eureka typeface (although, the combination nozzle that came in the attachment set still bore the older Eureka-Williams-era logo to about 1985). ~Ben | ||

Brian,
It was likely in 1984, two years before the high-tech Express canister. I did find a few newspaper ads in Google News Archives dated 1984 that featured this product. So you're not far off. One other thing: according to Trademarkia (and other trademark info websites) Eureka filed a federal TM registration for this model on March 3, 1986, but that the "First Use Anywhere" (and the "First Use in Commerce") date is listed as July 24, 1984... so maybe I could assume the Express line first showed up in '84? ~Ben | ||
