Funny that the seller calls this Electrolux "heavy," given that its "feather-light" weight was a big selling point when it was introduced! (Model E, 1954)

 Saw that one
Was wondering if the hose will fit the XXX 49er's

Light perhaps in 54' when selling to the lady that had to carry it up the stairs

I remember finding one like that upstairs in the closet
Used it once
Remember the snorkel & thought it odd but don't think it was that one as I think it had red or yellow writing on it.
That one almost looks normal to me.

Still for the life of me can't remember which one I had.
It was left in the apt I rented in NYC
Someone came looking for it
said the tenant left it for them
I said what vacuum?

When you vacate an apt & you leave anything
it is no longer your possession & you can't gift it to someone else...LOL

It was reconditioned I rememeber that
It was tannish if I recall & now I'm not even sure
as it could also have been grey

Had wheels
Had the newer style floor tool but I remember it being more metal...

OOOH what was it

I still regret leaving it behind but I couldn't take everything across the country with me.

Bwahhhhhh

LOL

Still can't see picking it up with one finger as it must weigh close to 20 lbs.

Maybe she has a 8 lb Oreck...
Saw one in thrift shop
Metal handle was severed in half
Guess someone vacuumed too hard

LOL

I like em heavy
The more metal the better

LOL

Except metal rusts
plastic does not rust
but it deteriorates in its own way
It cracks from use & generally gets brittle with heat & age.
