I ran across this on craigslist.

Its a G.E. upright with what appears to be the
New York City skyline in its logo. 1940's maybe?

What a unique model number - NYS. And a very low serial number. All GE uprights from that time period that I've ever seen have a model number that starts with AVF.
I know there was a world's fair in New York in the 1930's - it's possible that machine was designed to either be sold there or commemorate GE's participation in the fair.

The 1939 New York World's Fair would have been a logical inspiration for the motif of that machine.
