Hey
I have tried to get a 1930's royal vacuum from a gentleman in Pennsylvania. He is trying to break down vacuum to ship. That was a couple months ago. He emailed me recently asking if I was interested in a eureka hose in original box unused. It looks like my 505 kirby vacuum hose same material. He sent pics but i have not received yet as he is mailing tomorrow. Any info on the hose would be appreciated. I don't collect eurekas so knowledge is limited. I just know unused 70 year old hoses are rare. Thanks in advance. Les |

My model 250 is dated 1955. The attachments actually belonged to David Watters, but the matching machine was not present. So they came with me to go with mine. |

Wow...if those attachments are unused, that is a rare find!
The method of hose connection here always fascinated me: somehow, the metal hose converter slides around the belt without the need for removing the belt. But does the converter also raise the front end of the vacuum off the floor? I somehow remember Consumer Reports commenting that they did not like this tool configuration as it could potentially damage bare floors. The set-up was changed for the subsequent model 260 Super Automatic with the inclusion of a Bottom Plate to cover the brush opening. |
