I have never seen a shag rug tool from the '50's, didn't even realize shag was around back then, thought that came much later in the late 60's-70's. Anyone seen or have one of these Eureka shag tools? Was Eureka unique to have that available at that time?

Shag rug tools

Yes, shag rugs, as room size or smaller in bedrooms were common in the 50's & 40's Then in the late 60's and early 70's
they were wall to wall carpeting.
Electrolux had a shag rug carpet tool in the late 50's,early
60's then the Power nozzle took it's place.
I have to say, that my sister had that same cannister in the
50's but as a singer brand. It was a great vacuum but the
hose at the machine end cracked and split very early on. So
the hose saw a lot of gray duct tape at one end or the other
most of the time.

Wow Norm, I didn't know that! Do you have a photo of one?

The earliest Electrolux shag tool I was aware of was the one that came with the 1205. I have never seen an earlier version than that.
