I noticed this F&G Eureka on eBay that has piqued my curiosity. What stands out to me the most is the "5.0 Amps" logo. While I don't know for certain when that font was introduced by Eureka, I've always associated it with the early to mid 1990s models; The Bravo and Powerline era comes to mind. Would anybody be able to recognize the year of production of this Eureka? I'm hoping someone here can give more specifics than the seller.
I suppose my more overarching question is if this Eureka really is from the early 90s, where was this sold? When were F&G uprights phased out of retail department store sale? I know the last Hoover Convertible was discontinued around 1992. I imagine by this time Elite/Bravo sales had proven their appeal to consumers, thus why I'm so surprised by this model. Since I'm a younger collector, it's impossible for me to answer this from experience.

I have a catalog from 1991 that has this model. But it lists it as a 4.0 amps. Maybe this is a later change? |

Thank you Nicholas! Great line-up!
Strange that Model 1925, with the unique hood from the Self-Propelled series, is not a deluxe model with a VGII brush roll. I guess these F&G budget vacs were limited to Vac Shops...don't think I ever saw them at Kmart or the like in Florida when I used to vacation there in the early 1990's.... |

Because I'm starting a collection soon, I was thinking about an older Eureka. |
