Actully, Since it is a 1410 A, it is from about 1975. It part of the first line of new plastic based, blender mtors offered by Eureka. | ||

Thanks for the pic of the ratings plate. This is a very unique pale yellow colour for Eureka, which makes me think it was a special model produced for K-Mart - the store often had these special editions in the 1970's.
The date seems to be narrowing to around 1977 or 1978. In the early 1980's, these Eurekas had a two piece handle made of plastic and connected by plastic snap-in bolts. Your 1410 has the metal bolts from the 1970's. The other dating hint is the plastic Eureka logo plate glued onto the vinyl dust bag. I don't think we saw this kind of "glued-on" bag label until the late 1970's. I'm pretty sure Eureka upright bags did not have these labels in 1975 or 1976 - the Eureka logo in those years was printed right on the vinyl bag. | ||

If it was a Kmart model... It would have been a 600 series, instead of a 1400series. | ||
