Mine is Not a Golden Crown...But Close... Same machine...a Super Roto-Matic...chrome dome instead of gold "guild". It has great suction.

that is a beautiful vacuum....i like the pale yellow colour. When I was a child, I saw that my moms friend had this exact vacuum.I used to ask every time we would vizit if I could take the Eureka and vacuum her house! btw that vac will pull on the suction guage the very same as a filter queen. | ||

Tom!!!! You have the identical Eureka Automatic Upright that I grew up with in Montreal.....it is the exact model down to the correct graphic on the bag and the silver headlight frame. I have been desperate to find out the exact model number. Is the nameplate intact on the underside? Can you give me the model number? Is it 260 or 265 or something close to that? I'd be ever so grateful to finally get a model number for the vacuum that started it all for me!!! :-)

Hey Tom - thanks for the information......I was kind of hoping it had a chrome silver headlight frame and silver accents on the hose-port cover....I think that Eureka added gold features to the Automatic upright and Roto-Matic canister in 1957 for the golden 50th anniversary of the company (Eureka started in 1907 in Detroit).
But I always thought that the model numbers somehow matched the year the particular vac was put on the market (Upright 260 = 1960, Upright 2070 = 1970, Upright 2072 = 1972, etc.) So I'm still not sure which model number we had on a silver-trimmed "Automatic" upright (I no longer have the vac....*sniffle, sniffle, boo-hoo*) Unless your 260 originally had silver accents and the headlight frame and hose port cover was replaced at some point. I can't tell from the picture - is your 260 a turquoise/aqua blue colour, or green colour? Ours was definitely blue - I think the golden anniversary edition was more greenish in tone.... | ||

Marty! My Singer book talks about the new lightweight vinyl hose. Even the Eureka POD that pops up now and then talks about the vinyl hose How about a picture of your singer version in it's hassock? | ||

Brian, this is the model you're looking for the 260C canadian ? It looks worse in the pic than it actually is

Pete - your 260C is really close, but it is not the exact version I grew up with. The hose and hose port cover are an exact match, but the bag on my childhood Eureka had the vertical rectangle graphic that Tom's Automatic has. Can't tell if Tom's bag is green or blue, but our blue one had that graphic.
Always wondered how they shipped these Eureka uprights.....in the 1970's they split the handle in two pieces and so the whole vac assembly fit in a small square box. But these older Eurekas had a single piece handle.....wonder if the handle came in a separate box.....hmmmmmm..... | ||

Gary!!!! Nice Roto-Matic, buddy!!!
Jason - now I know that we had a 260 of some sort! :-) I thought the cord looked like a replacement because it seems so much darker than the blue base of the vac. I remember our Eureka Automatic 260 had a turquoise/aqua electric cord that was very close in colour to the blue on the rest of machine and on the attachments. But I guess the vinyl could get discoloured with the years..... I'm now convinced that our 260 was circa 1958/1959 (the year I was born). It was not green with gold accents like the 1957 Golden Anniversary edition, and yet it was before the production of the blue bags with the letters for E.U.R.E.K.A. emblazoned in large letters down the front of the bag. Ours had the little vertical rectangle up at the top - similar to earlier Eureka uprights. Thanks again for that great display of the 3 260's!!! :-) | ||
