Found it in a thrift shop today for $4, looked to be in PERFECT shape so I snatched it up!

It's green with red stripping, any ideas? I don't have an AirWay, so I guess it can double as a Christmas decoration tongue-out

Green with red

Would be for a 77, made 1955-1958..The last AirWay with their own motor, and the last made in the Toledo factory, the 88 had a Lamb motor and was built for them by Eureka.I may be off a year or two but I think the dates are correct.

And here's a mess o' photos of my 77 which has an optional wheeled cart that makes the machine look like it's on a launching pad ready to take off into outer space! It had the original hose when I found it but it was shot, so I cut off and saved the green nozzle cuffs and grafted them onto a red Kirby hose. I've always liked the way it makes this machine look so "Christmassy!"

Note that I also have the very rare suction-powered polisher attachment which I am certain was made for Air-Way by Electrolux -- there are just too many similarities to the Electrolux model; had Air-Way come out with this machine on their own they surely would have been sued by Electrolux for patent infringement!
