I am curious to know which year this Kent was made in.

It has a 70s looking Eureka Style hood, but a 6 height position adjuster. When did Eureka start making vacuums with 6 height adjustments?

I would think 80s, but it does not have vents, so I think maybe mid 70s.

The date should be stamped on the bottom.

Eureka's line of Series 2000 Dial-a-Nap uprights had adjusters with 6 positions even in 1973. I think the top-rated model 2042 had 6 positions. Just look at any Series 2000 Instruction Manual from 1974 and you'll see the adjuster shown along with the Rugulator high end alternative.

I had one like that....

That I gave away in my barn clean out. I received it as a trade in from an old lady, when I had my store. She had said that she bought hers in 1980, and the base was indeed dated 1980. Mine had the same blue base, same handle, same bag, and a black cord, but mine had the ESP style hood with a headlight. I would take a guess and presume that, that one is from around the same time period.

 

Hope this helps!

I am thinking it is from the 80s too.

Yes 1989 was the time they used them at the Raddison Justice Aquatic Center in Orlando on I-Drive. I bought one off one of the housekeepers there for $10 brand new, chrome hood 6.0 amp motor dual F&G bag. Amazing what you can get just by asking.
