An Unexpected Find!

My dad and I were driving around when I saw a familiar handle on someones front porch. I got out of the car and ran to the porch to find a Eureka 2 Speed ESP upright. I knocked and the door to make sure they were getting rid of it. I was greeted by a VERY nice younger lady. I asked about it and she said I could surely have it, and I offered her 5 dollars for it because it was originally in a yard sale she had, but she refused to take it! So I completely lucked out! It even came with an extra bag and a belt! It runs absolutely flawlessly, and just needed a light cleaning and a new belt! There are no nicks or rips in the cord either! There is a bit of paint loss in a few places on the base and handle, but nothing major. There is also no rips in the bag, or stains! Both speeds work as well!
I have a Eureka in the same color, one speed, step on circle switch, small headlight with the "rounded" older looking hood, and just a green vinyl bag in with Eureka printed on it. I'm unsure of the model number, but I'm pretty sure that this belongs with that line.

Checkrate/Likes *I'm green with envy* Congratulations, that's a fantastic find! Those Eurekas are great vacuums and I love the color.

Checkrate/Likes Mmmmm.. That's my favorite Eureka model ever. My next door neighbor's mother had that exact model when I was a kid.. she still had it when I last saw it about 10 years ago. I have two of them that are in kind of scratched-up not so wonderful shape--in boxes out in the garage... I have hopes of finding a minty one someday. There was one on eBay about 4 years ago that I forgot to bid on and it went for not too much. It's such a pretty cleaner! I have a soft-spot for green vacuums. :-) Congrats!

Checkrate/Likes *Weeeeee! Unexpected is right!!!* Look what I found today!!!! I could hardly believe it!!! As I said above; I've wanted a minty one of these for a long time; it's the vacuum my next door neighbor had when I was little. Definitely my favorite Eureka! Even one of the guys running the sale who knows I go for the vacuums said that he didnt recall seeing any, when we were waiting to get in the house. So I was even more excited when I found it. I saw the handle sticking up from behind a table--low an behold it was that model! Yay!! It's gonna need a good scrubbing (smoker's house), but I have no doubt it will clean up just wonderfully!
