A Douglas canister vacuum from the late 70's or early 80's? My stepmom had one & I always wanted to play with it. It had a power nozzle and as I recall was white. So far all I have seen in posts is the small portable Douglas carvac. I am curious as to what the canister model was and if any of you guys own one or have pics of any? I have seen the same power nozzle with other brands on here, I believe in fact with an Airway on one post.

It was a square boxy thing, you know Douglas came from the Kingston Corp.To Me they looked kind of like the 70s Singers. |

Here's a thread with a JCPenney catalog from 1979. Does the canister on the third page look like the Douglas?

Cole, the power nozzle looked like that. My stepmom's was white with metal wands though. I am fuzzy on the exact shape & look of the tank, but that one doesn't look as I remember from what I recall. Seems her tank was not plastic & did not have a top mounted tool caddy. Also her's was squared off, not sloped at the hose end. I recall her's as more a rectangular plain looking shaped metal, which I know probably sounds more like an Airway. But I do know it was Douglas b/c that's the first I had ever heard of the Douglas brand as a child
