Here are the copied pages from a great Regina brochure given to me by our long-time member Roger Proehl. He gave them to me 2 years ago when I visited him in Baltimore, after our wonderful Minneapolis convention.

 

I'm not sure how the pages are numbered. Here's the "first":

Given the wording, it sounds like this was a brochure aimed at dealers

The canister

One of my moms friends owned the canister, It was the only one I had ever seen around here. She would let me vacuum her house if I behaved when I was little!

The electric brroms were more popular, we of course had several.

I never realized Regina had an upright before the housekeeper in the 1980's

I have always wanted to use one those canisters. I always liked the rug nozzle on the electric brooms and think it would have been even better with the higher air flow.

My mom bought model V-480 (in reply #3), the harvest gold and chrome version. It was nothing but problems and it was loud. The cord would retract on its own, the wands would not stay connected, the plastic on the rug/floor nozzle where the wand connected cracked and no matter what setting was chosen on the rug pile dial, it would always swivel up to the highest setting. The vacuum is now at my sister's cottage in the shed. And would you believe that my mom bought this vacuum to replace her Filter Queen! What was she thinking.

Regina

Shane,
Since you didn't know about earlier Regina uprights, I'll pass on a little information and a few pictures for you. The model U-931 shown in the brochure was called the Brush-N-Beat, and was made in the late 60's and early 70's. But they go back much further. Here is a pic of my model 39 Regina upright with attachments, which I believe was built in the late 30's or early 40's.

And here is the model 59 with attachments. A bit newer and has a 2-speed motor, I think it may have been built in the late 40's.

And for comparison, here's the two of them together. The 39 runs beautifully, but unfortunately the 59 does not run at all.

The 480 must have been pretty popular - here's the one I have. For some reason I can never seem to come across one with the small nozzle though.

Doug,

My mom had the same Regina as yours (reply #12) including the hanging storage case. It is currently at my sisters cottage. I saw it there last summer. It has all the accessories including the ulphostery nozzle.

Regina had made uprights since the 1910s I believe. Here is an older straight suction model.
