1000 Housekeeper
I had the privilege of checking out this unique Housekeeper at Chris' place last year. I vaguely remember seeing this very first model in early 1986 in Zayres department store but have seen far more of the early 90's versions. You can tell the date of any 70's - 90's Reginas by looking at the serial number. In the older models from the late 60's to the mid eighties or so it was 3 numbers. If a plastic 1980's Regina says 426 that means it was made 06/02/1984. If it was a 70's metal body Electrikbroom or cannister and it said 625 then that would mean 05/02/1976. The newer 1990's Housekeepers had the actual dates in the serial number such as 03-01-91 as the picture below.

Date codes continued
This is a date code of a 1978 Regina Electricbroom as 825 which translates 05/02/1978. You have to know the general decade in which the machine was made for this to work as 825 could have meant 05/02/1988 but this harvest gold electrikbroom is from the 70's and the later 80's brooms were much different at that point.

Very cool find! I remember when these came out, one of the first "affordable" all-in-one uprights. Those that have found good, unbroken examples of them are very lucky, I saw more than a few with broken handles in the garbage. A friend of mine bought a little later version and the handle snapped off the first day he had it. He returned it, the handle only lasted for a few months before meeting same he same fate. He ended up with a Sanitaire that he's still using today. It was pretty powerful for its seemingly shoddy quality and that some have survived is a counter to the "all junk" moniker they've acquired :-)
I think there were some Housekeeper bags at a small-electric shop here, I'll have to look again the next time I go in there. That's a great picture, Kenny - is the Visions cookware still around? Those had a love-hate reputation as well! | ||
