Does anyone have any information on this "Concordia"-labeled Omni-Flo Automatic power nozzle by Electrolux? No model id was stamped in the typical place. | ||

The grid background on the label is the same as that of the Hi-Tech 2100-labeled ones (1986-88). | ||

I am going to take a wild guess here. A Google search shows that here in Canada, there are 2 Concordia University's....One in Montreal, Quebec, & the other in Edmonton, Alberta. Plus, in the Concordia name on the PN, in the last A I see what looks to be a Canadian flag. In addition, as you noted above, the label grid looks to be similar to a 2100 PN label, & the 2100 I believe was sold only in Canada in the 1980's, not in the USA. So I am guessing that this might have been made for a Canadian university, to be used on campus or sold to it's graduates. Or, that it might be some sort of Canadian special edition canister & PN. Hopefully, Doug Smith, "Collector2", our resident Canadian Electrolux expert, will chime in here, but that's my guess.

When the VCCC went to the Electrolux factory (back when I was President of the VCCC), they were making Concordia-labeled vacuums and bags. I have one of the bags. Those branded machines were made for sale outside of the USA. They had both 120 as well as 240 volt versions. They even had a special 100 volt model for Japan, that also had an additional feature of the brush roller shutting off when the nozzle was picked up from the floor.

I have an original Electrolux crevice tool with the Concordia logo on it, I have to see if I can find it somewhere. | ||

I see... they couldn't sell them as Electrolux machines outside of the country because there was already another Lux out there. Pretty cool. I'd love to see an actual machine with the Concordia name. | ||
