Hi John -
Welcome to our lil' ol' forum.
We have several GE enthusiasts in this group with more knowledge than I who can speak to specifics. GE DID make uprights in the 50's, but nowhere near as many as they did of canisters and tanks. I have a list that Marc Turbyfill (one of our members in Spokane) published in one of our older newsletters. The list compiles models and their END YEARS of manufacture. Unfortunately, the list does not state when they started to manufacture each of these models. If I recall correctly, the list was compiled in 1961. Since it is an Adobe file, I can't attach it here.
Send me your email address to figtree632@gmail.com and I will send it to you. I also have one for Premier, too. As to the Premier/GE relationship, someone more knowledgable than me needs to tell you about the history of how the two ended up as one.
