Awesome collection, Ben! Do you favor the Kirbys with the trapezoidal handles ('67-present) versus the cylindrical ones? Do you have all the accessories and manuals for each? | ||

Left or right My Classic and Classic III have the cord holder on the other side - out of the way of the bag. | ||

Toddk13 Todd,
Yes, they are replacement grips. My Classic III did have the original grip you mention with the cord/bag hook on the same side of the machine as the motor switch, but my Mom's 1978 Classic III did have the grip design that places said hook on the side of the machine facing the bag, and that's what you currently see on my machine.
The Classic III's original pointed handle grip - with the cord/bag hook on the same side of the cleaner as the motor switch - was flimsy, since some of them broke off at the top.

toastermike Mike,
I did... it was given to me by my niece (a trash find!), but it was nearly skeletal and so I decided to sell that one. Here's what it looked like.
