Just my two "amps" worth here: The fact that this Eureka is using the old style rug nozzle with the separate curved wand is a clue to the production date. Eureka stopped using this carpet nozzle by the mid 1970's I estimate. At some point they went to a one-unit carpet nozzle that had an integrated plastic swivel neck, and had an added corner suction channel for "corner and edge cleaning".
I seem to remember some brown coloured uprights and canisters in the early 1970's, so along with the older rug nozzle, I would date this earlier than 1975. Eurekaprince Brian |

Just remembered that there is another dating clue to this vac - especially if the rug nozzle is not the one that originally came with this machine (who knows?)...
Look at the brandplate on the bottom of the machine where you have the serial number. If it says "Eureka Williams" than it's from 1974 or earlier. If it says "The Eureka Company", then it's from 1974 or later - the year that Sweden's Electrolux bought the company and changed the name. |
