That IS a nice canister, and a most unusual design. IIRC, there was another canister Kenmore offered around the same time called the Saturn. I had a chance at a Saturn at an estate sale not too long ago, but with just the canister (no hose or tools to be found in the house I passed. These were probably made for Sears by Birtman Electric.

actually they were a.... Whirlpool product, and it dates from 1959, 1960. The Saturn was part of the same line but either one above, or below the Horizon. | ||

Amazing piece of vacuum cleaner history, Jae. It touches on so many important vacuum cleaner themes: Whirlpool, Sears Kenmore, on board tool caddy, amazing on-board wand storage, space-age theming. Indeed, Whirlpool was an amazing innovator at the time and should be remembered for its contributions to cleaner design.
