Even closer! It's printed in gold ink...note it says 'Registered Trade Mark', like a UK machine, rather than 'Reg. US Patent Office', like American-made machines...

The wrapper.... Note the fitting instructions don't seem to have anything to do with the bag, which seems much too small to replace an outer bag, and has no fixing loops etc...

Box label: Since it mentions the 543 and 700, I guess they didn't come new with a 541, but were supplied afterwards. Still comes with the old-style dusting brush, though...

A close-up: I thought perhaps it could be something meant for storing the tools in, but the open end seems a bit roughly-finished for that... Or maybe the replacement Norca bag was stored in this, and in turn, placed in the large paper envelope...

Hhhmmmm
I wonder if it was used for "Air Purifying", take the main bag off and put this on to filter the air in your room....would make sense by the instructions on the cover... Or is it the start of Hepa Bags!!!! slip it inside the main bag for added germ protection.... It does state that it has bag ring hooks to fit over the exhaust housing....my guess is the part of the bag with these on has been removed or ripped off, doesnt look a clean cut on the bag though....very interesting... | ||

I'm certainly no expert on this (as hoover or old sewing machines arent my forte) but is it possible that this is something that someone made out of what was left of the original bag? I cant really tell from the pictures but the edges appear to be serged and, to my knowledge, they didnt have sergers at that time. Any one know enough about that to give us a clue?
