Hmmm...must be from the seventies, perhaps, since the Royal address includes a zip code! Sorry! |

The dream machines you spoke of would probably be a model 177, 189, 215, 292, or 299, built from 1945 to 1952, or an early 153, which was built from 1945 to 1987. The 299 was the top of the line 2 speed model, and the 292 might have been a 2 speed as well. These would all have had the black and red bag you are looking for. The 153 was an economy model with no headlight. Here is a pic of my ensemble in red & black, with my 153, 189, and 157 hand vac.

What a beautiful collection, Jeff! I'm in awe of your 189. Is that a Geier belt cover I see on the 177? |
