It's a Kirby Bank. Used to store coins you find while you're vacuuming to save up for bags and belts. |

The Dual 80 was the only Kirby to my knowledge NOT to have a bank in the handle. Ben in Oregon would know best on when the first bank model came out?? |

My mistake. NO Kirbys before ~1970 had the bank. ALL Kirbys after the Classic 1CR (I think) had the bank. Excluding, of couse, the Sentria and Sentria II. |

Sonny, your wrong, my mothers 518 form 1958 had a slot in the handle, she used to fill it with quarters. I don't know how far before that they started? |

I'd never noticed that before. Just checked and sure enough, my Heritage II Legend has it (though it's blocked by the bag most of the time). Weird little mini-feature, but hey, why not? |

OMG Sonny, I have been a Kirby Area Distributor since 1977, I know Kirby's. Check the back of the handle on any of the tubular Kirby handles and there is a slot just below the vinyl handle grip where the coins go. Check it for yourself before you make claims that you know nothing about. |

DID have the slot for coins, A good friend of mine was a Kirby dealer from 1965 until his death in the early 2000s, and he said they always told the customer about the slot in the handle being for coins ! |

My 2001 G Limited Edition has the coin slot. I remember my mothers 1973 Classic having one. Its odd to me the coin bank isnt mentioned anywere in the video manuals Kirby made all these yrs. |

According to my expertise, I believe only 3 Kirbys don't have the handle slot: The Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80, Sentria and Sentria II. |

Never knew that's what the slot was for, but that makes sense! |
