How did I miss this?!!!
But I did and didn't even have it on my watch list. I'm not sure I wouldn't have joined in and bid through to the end. Would have been the most expensive vacuum ensemble in the collection...and worth every penny. Reminds me of Fred S's prize winning bronze torpedo General Electric; same styling era. I could gaze at this stunning example of compound shape stamping & molding for hours on end - not one straight level flat line on it. It's the 1960s version of the 1949 Modern Hygiene. Will be a hoot if one of us won it and it makes an appearance at the Convention...clear choice for Best Original, in my book. Dave |

Well, 'Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder".
The Westinghouse is sure nice and the best colour combination of all the MC series but it only comes with 4 tools, the cord is deteriorating and possibly replaced...and it sold for twice as much as the Supreme, which has no bearing on Most Original. And it sure ain't no GE Roll-Easy - a much better made machine of the type & style. :-) Having downloaded and examined the high rez ad pictures it's obvious this MC-4 is in un-touched primo Museum Grade condition. And yet I consider some of its engineering and fitment choices to be of lesser quality than a Roll-Easy. The beautiful design is somewhat marred by the crude rear casters which should have been housed inside the side panels, and the switch looks like an afterthought in a most awkward location. Don't get me wrong, tho. It is a stunning and unusual machine and who wouldn't want one, in any condition? Dr Creviwinkler can testify to that! Several of our members have MC models in other colours...Toby, Rick and maybe Hans. The SUPREME on the other hand - besides being - like Fred's GE Bullet - the most accomplished visually stunning tour de force of the metal shaper's Art, comes equipped with 6 accessory tools, what appears to be a soft supple original cord and an original gray hose. Whatever floats yer boat. I like streamlining. Dave This post was last edited 07/25/2011 at 09:15 |

I have a black de-mother attachment that goes to that Montgomery Wards Canister. It looks just like the gray one in the pic on ebay except mine is black. Did the black de-mother go to the Eureka canister or did it go to the MW? |
