Rosewood bag that originally came on the 1-CR in the pic.Does it belong with the 1-CR?Someone told me that it could be a replacement bag and didn't come with the 1-CR.

@tyson
The avocado green bag with the green Kirby ovals is from the Dual Sanitronic 80. The Classic 1-CR's original bag is gold in color and had an orange patch on the front of it that says "Kirby Classic." The bag cap and bag guard are both chocolate brown in color. The Classic Omega bag was also once gold in color (up to around December 1973). After January 1974, the bag became coffee brown in color and changed to a pinstriped jean fabric. Around January 1975 through to end of production in June 1976, the bag, while still coffee brown, was of a vinyl diamondback fabric (a la the Royal 880 bag from 1971-1987). ~Ben | ||

Well could we see another pic of the bag, looking at the patch this time? Otherwise it looks pretty original. | ||

I hate to be a stick in the mud but ...
the machine in the first picture is a Kirby Classic model 1-CR. The original bag for it was gold in color with a patch that read "Kirby Classic". The close up of the gold bag has a patch that reads "Kirby Classic" with an upside down horse shoe (Omega symbol). The bag pictured is an original Classic Omega bag (Classic Omega model 1-CB) It would go with the second Kirby you have pictured. As a matter of fact, if you look at the belt lifter on the second Kirby, you will see that it also has the Omega symbol (upside down horse shoe) on it.

Hey Tyson, If you need a set of attachments for your Omega, there is a set for local pickup in Toledo listed on that auction site that no one has bid on yet. Do a search for seller "mnmestatesaless" and you should find it. Joe | ||
