So, I am blessed to have this wonderful friend of mine, his name is Kyle, who I have known for over 5 years. He is one of my non collector friends who actually knows I collect vacuums, and while he doesn't collect them, he finds it cool, and actually asks me questions, like what makes them collectable, what makes them rare etc. Well, he knows I LOVE Fantoms, and he was at a flee market and saw what he thought was a Fantom, but he looked at it closer, and saw it said Kenmore on it, so he left without it. We talked later that night and he asked me about it and I told him Fantom made them for Kenmore and gave him a little information on it. Well that was a week ago. Today, he went back to the flee market to see if it was still there, and sure enough it was, so he bought it and sent a pic of it to my phone with the caption Merry Early Christmas! I have obviously not had a chance to see it yet, he lives about 2 hours from me, and I am not sure how soon I will get my hands on it, he is planning on coming down to visit when he has the money for gas, and he will bring it then, but I am so excited. I have attached the pic of it he sent me. :) Needs a cleanup, but I do that anyway. Funny side note, he has never used a Fantom or Kenmore Destiny, so he decided to give it a spin around his bedroom, to make sure it worked, and he texted me and was like Oh my god, this thing is amazing! Haha

What year its from, gotta wait and see, but my guess is 1997 roughly, since its a 12 amp, but still the old Kenmore Destiny Plus logo, and the older color scheme. And the brush bar on it is just like the Fantom Thunder brushroll, a very nice cheveron style brushroll, if I remember right, very effective!
