Found these at a yard sale today, got them both for a total of $15. Both run. What models are these? Can't find much info on them.

The one with the green bag is either a 514 or 515. A rarity is the original cord with the large, round machine-end plug.

 

The other one is a pre-Kirby "Scott & Fetzer Sanitation System." The S&FSS is quite rare -- all the more so because the power switch is in the handle. This version was sold in department stores rather than door-to-door. It might also be branded "Keystone."
