Last weekend while I was in St. Louis, I found four more vacuums to add to my stash. I found a blue Hoover Convertible U4005, a Hoover Convertible 704 that was a gift from Alex Braun, a Eureka 1458A that was from John Pease and while I was at a local estate sale I found a Eureka cordwinder 2385A with the touch power handle grip and it also had the owners manual along with the bill of sale dated May 10, 1978 from Famous Barr. Here is a picture for you guys to enjoy.

Oh before I forget, here is the owners manual along with the bill of sale. Sorry that I couldn't zoom in on some of the paperwork. Also, I will have updated photos of my vacuum collection and the cleaned up versions of these machines.

I have that Hoover U4005, I love the design. I thought the bag was from some other model because it's so small. Apparently it is the correct one. I like those others, especially the Eureka.

That booklet called "The Inside Story" looks like it has a picture of an F&G bag on it! Can you scan that so we can see it? I LOVE vintage Eurekas!
