Hey y'all, take a look at the bag on this Kirby. (See link.) I've never seen one like it! It's the SHAPE of the earlier black bag 1C~505 but the COLOR and STYLE of the later gray bag 508~512, and it has a slide-on bag top with no cloth collar. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Electrolux137's LINK on eBay |

Charles,
OK, now how would this bag be different than a "normal" 508-512 bag? ~Ben This post was last edited 05/01/2013 at 16:24 |

Ben, this bag is different from a "normal" early gray bag in terms of the shape, as I explained. The early black bags were rather wide, wider than they were deep, the width curving out in the middle and then tapering up toward the top, and the top comes to pointed when viewed sideways.
The later bags were very angular shaped all the way up to the top, and the top, when the bag is inflated, is square-shaped and rather flat on the top.
Compare the shape of the bag below with the shape of the "mystery bag" on eBay and what I'm explaining should be clear. |

Here's another example showing the shape of the later bag. You can also see it in my YouTube video link below. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Electrolux137's LINK |
