You have an extremely rare model 500. Made only in 1959. This is the last incarnation of the model 500 which began as "The Golden Monarch", a gold colored model in 1955. It was offered in chrome in addition to gold from 1956 through 1959. The gold model was replaced by the all tan model you have in 1959. In 1960, the model 500 was replaced by the model 33.
Your hose is not original, the original was a rubber hose with nylon braiding and a very large rubber 'cuff' at the machine coupling. There was also no bare floor tool. For floors, the felt pad (which mounted on the large upright post on the attachment crown) was used. One of the best ways to clean hard wood floors ever made, the Filter Queen felt pad can still be ordered today. It clipped onto the rug nozzle. |
