Hi You Guys! Here are some of my newest vacuum finds over the last several weeks. Most of these Eureka's are from the 1980's with the exception of the Bicentennial model. The Bicentennial Eureka was a gift from a dear collector friend of mine. The wild moss Eureka 625 was a Craigslist find. The Eureka Ultra and the navy blue ESP I got off of Ebay. The pastel Eureka ESP was from Rick A. I got this on my last visit to St. Louis. Here are some pictures to enjoy!

Lastly, here is the navy blue ESP. I do not know very much about this particular model. I don't know if it was a promotional model or a showroom model maybe? I have never seen one in a catalog or on Ebay or anybody's collection. This runs great and I love the color combo of it. One of the prettiest Eureka ESP's in my opinion.

Fabulous finds, Stephen! Great assortment you have there. You must bring that Eureka Ultra to the Convention... I've never gotten to play with one in person! You have a very nice collection! Thanks for sharing your new finds!

I don't know that I've ever seen a liberty-print bag before. Very nice. |

but with one difference, mine has the two speed ESP switch in the handle. Mine is dated 1978. Anyone else have one of these?? |

Yep, I still have it. I think it’s a 1978 as I recall. It’s still in storage. The orange bag is the original bag that it came with. It’s a dump bag setup, so no paper bag system. I believe that you are referring to the 1976 Eureka line with the blue and white machines, which were reissues of the green and white line that went with the Vanguards in 1972. The model numbers carried over and the model up from the 2085 was the 2042. I included the 1976 Eureka lineup brochure as well as the ad for the Commercial ESP.

Beautiful machines. My grandparents had a 1931 AT while I was growing up; not sure of the exact dates but I'm sure it was from the early 90s at the very latest.
I remember back when this thread was started (2011), it was still possible to find F&G Eurekas pretty easily in thrift stores. And they were cheap! Nowadays it's nearly impossible to find a good old Eureka or Convertible, at least in Phoenix. Been thinking about about that a lot recently. A vacuum from the 70s is now half a century old. |
