Found the hose.. Took me a minute to find it. I would guess this hose is original, and it's still good!

I'll have to look around the garage when it gets a little warmer out. I don't think there were any more attachments with the cleaner, other than the hose and an upholstery tool, but I don't totally remember. | ||

Thanks Fred For posting pictures, I love seeing oddball stuff...I know most guys collect normal stuff, and I do too, but the odd, strange, one off stuff is more interesting to me! | ||

Kenkart, the last time I looked Minnesota was in the USA. It was also patented in USA. | ||

If it is Canadian its not a design I have ever come across here. The handgrip on the hose appears to be Eureka though so I would suspect US. Just a special (and simple) design made for Gambles.
Funny that Gambles in the US used the name Coronado as a house brand and MacLeods in Canada used it too. Wonder what the connection was. Incidentally I have a 1956-57 Coronado from Canada and its unusual as well. Some features that are similar to Eureka but not the same. It does say made in USA on it though.

It does kinda look like a Eureka design, doesn't it? Or maybe a Royal? | ||
