The alphanumeric phone number GR2-7302 translates to 472-7302. Big deal. That's the way phone numbers were expressed until sometime in the 1960s, perhaps even into late as the early '70s in some places. Each two-letter 'exchange' usually had a word associated with it. My grandparents' phone number prefix was 787, which was the 'sunset' exchange when the number was issued in the mid '50s. How in the world people remembered all those word mnemonics, I'll never know. Of course, today we can't even remember phone numbers because we just store them in our cell phones and call them up by the person's name.

had two prefix digits. In the AT&T days, GR2-1212 was the number to call for the time. There was also a number to call which would call your phone back. |

Probably has to have an actual Model G in it. These are mine. I drool over them every day. So lucky and blessed to have GREAT friends who share with me, and the Vacuum Museum.

~ There was indeed a turquoise Model G that in fact was manufactured for far longer (1960-67 with several variations) than the tan Hospital G shown above. The Hospital G was a very limited production run intended for use in hospitals and other places where better filtration and softer motor sound was desirable.
Here are five other versions of the Model G, in no particular order...
1. Turquoise Model G (this photo is of Michael LaBue's beautiful machine)
2. Metallic Tan Model G
3. Metallic Gray Model G, a factory-rebuilt machine (they also did some in metallic turquoise)
4. Off-white Model Hospital G with turquoise trim
5. Gold Model G, a salesman's trophy for top sales (not sold to consumers) This post was last edited 08/10/2016 at 15:07 |

I like to call this one the little window peepshow. There's nothin' which smells any better than a fine, vintage piece of equipment. Well, with the exception of just one other thing that is.

Charles,
I have a question about the Golden G. The hose I see is off white with gold stripe and the attachments seem to be the white matching the trim. What color would the power nozzle have been? I have a spare white pn 1 with a light grey colored bumper and I'm considering painting the bumper gold as well as the lettering so it will match my Golden G. Very odd, my Gold G has the pn plug on the front as well as one on the metal strip on top like the AF and neither one of them is wired for use? The wires are just capped off. |
