Late 1960s/Early 1970s bag box and bags (seems to be a nice price...I wonder what the price would be with inflation? Back in the day one could probably have gotten a Big Mac, fries, and orange drink with the 75¢ economy pack savings!): |

. Electrolux's first disposable bags were introduced with the Model LX and were called wrappers. They were gray with blue cardboard tops and silver lettering on the tops. I have a box of them but they're still in storage so I can't get a photo of them, but you can kinda see them in the photo below of the Model E which used the same bag. This style bag was also sold with the Model E-Automatic. The wrappers originally were assembled one at a time by a crew of "bag ladies." There's a photo in one of the promotional booklets showing their new bag-assembly machinery. -ooOoo- The yellow bags with the blue-printed advertising on the tops were first introduced with the Model F and continued through the turquoise G. There were about 30 different versions of the advertising. Since the bags came 18 to a pack, users wouldn't get all the different advertisements with one purchase. I have two complete sets of them plus some spares. One of these days I want to take photos of all of them. There was also a bag from that series printed with "For Single-Purchase Sale" or something like that -- a specially imprinted bag sold one at a time. Somewhere along the way with the turquoise G, Electrolux discontinued the bags with advertising and went with the same graphic design on all the tops. |

Right now the box (in sections) is in the box of bags, attachments, and hoses you sent me. I'll bring that out of the closet tonight. (No pun intended) I thought of doing something like that with duct tape, or the stuff used for binding books, but as there's text in certain places, I need something clear. Since I have several original wrappers and filters in their celluloid envelopes (sealed) I want to keep them in the box, so I can do my own 'beauty shot.'
On another topic, I sent you an email. Did you get my coveted Electrolux? I'm chomping at the bit. Bob Alex. |

@ Christopher, sorry, but how bad sounds " I am by no means the biggest Lux expert here ". It looks like a lack of humbleness or a too young person with little experience for talking of himself. Ok, sorry if I understood the wrong way. Gus |

Does anyone have a pic of the early model upright bags and boxes (Models 1363, 1451, 1451E)? If so, please post it here. It seems these are quite rare, because of their limited run and discontinuance. |

. @BikerRay, The bag you showed above as "the first series of bags" is actually the second series. The first bags were the same color and composition but were called "wrappers" and the wording on the cardboard top was "Self-Sealing Wrapper." Some time during the production of the LX, the name was changed from "wrapper" to "bag." I don't have any of the original "wrappers" but I do have an empty carton. |

Here are photos of all three styles of IOTA bags. Electrolux discontinued them around 1998 or so. I bought all I could. The C bag in the photo is the last one I have. I had two left and put one into NIB Commemorative Edition when I got it. You can fill these bags with dust, and the bag will still be white and the bag chamber spotless.

you called the CA bags as Later replacement . Those are the original bags and filter that came with the CAs. To find those today is a marvelous find. |

The first Electrolux disposable bag, called a Wrapper, came in two versions. One was a Filter Wrapper, with three inside layers of filter paper, and one was a single ply gray wrapper with no inside filters.

Kevin, that Canadian bag would have been from the late 1960's/early 1970's, & would have been made during production of the Canadian Model 89. The Model 89 was manufactured at Pointe Claire, Quebec from 1968 to 1973, when Electrolux's first plastic-bodied machine in North America, the AP100, was introduced.

Kevin, I have used the GermGrabber bags & the 1980's bags in Reply #10, before I switched to using HEPA bags. By the mid 1980's, Electrolux Canada was getting those bags, since the 2100 debuted & of course production at the Pointe Claire, Quebec plant eventually shut down & production of Canadian machines moved to the USA....Bristol, Virginia I believe. But Doug Smith, Collector2, will correct me if I'm wrong on that one. I haven't seen many of the old Canadian bags from the 1960's or 1970's, perhaps 1 or 2. However, I have no reason to suspect they would be any different than what was manufactured in the USA. Remember, this IS Electrolux we are talking about here....I highly doubt they would let their standards slip from one country to the next.
Rob PS- One thing though, I do personally think our Canadian cleaners were better than what Americans got. But hey, that's just my Canadian pride showing through :-) LOL |

That's quite an array of bags! Thanks for posting the photos. I once had some Electrolux Style C bags that included housecleaning tips. That's how I learned how to deal with carpet matted down by heavy furniture. The bag said to place ice on the matted carpet. Let it melt and then dry completely. Then vacuum to raise the nap. I tried it and it works!
