So based on the 20th edition being confirmed as made in 1957, my 23rd edition is a 1960...cool! I had no idea that teal was carried over into the '60s as a trendy color. |

Yes, the Compact was often referred to as the 'PIG.' That was not ment as a put down, just because it looks like one. We have a lot of people here that collect Compact's. By the way, where's the Magic Disk? And a bit of trivia, the Compact was given away on the game show 'Queen For A Day' a game show from the 1950's

was a carpet fluffing tool much like Kirby's Miracle Head, kind of like a carpet sweeper.
Compact was never offically called the pig, but a lot of collectors myself included used this as a friendly term. I first heard that used in 1955. In 3 weeks when I come back from Indiana with my files I'll post a picture of the Magic disk from the instruction book. Alex Taber. |
