I would guess that this is a Mid Line Dial-a-Nap upright from the mid 1980's. Your key to dating this is the slanted font used for the "Eureka" lettering. This lettering was not italicized until the mid 1980's, just before the arrival of the Bravo uprights with the radically different side-facing motor. Before that time, the letters stood straight up as on the Ultra and Precision uprights of the early 1980's.
Nice Eureka - very good condition!!! :-) |
