My grandmother used to have a Singer Silver Glide canister vacuum that she bought around 1973. I would get it out and play with it when I visited sometimes and talk about vacuums. I can remember she said that she bought the vacuum at Sears, where she worked at the time.

It wasn't the first vacuum they bought though. The first was demonstrated in the store picking up a bowling ball. They bought one and got it home to find it wouldn't pick up anything, so they took it back.

I was wondering what this vacuum could be. I recall the Oreck canister being demonstrated with a funnel on the hose to lift a bowling ball, but this was many years before they came out.

I went on You Tube and typed in (vacuum picking up bowling ball) and a comercial for Electrolux picking up 5 bowling balls was on there and one for a kid picking up 1 ball
