These is a similar vacuum hanging from the ceiling at the Cracker Barrel restaurant in Greenville.Asked the manager if I could by it-he said wasn't for sale. | ||

I’d be curious what year it was made/sold. It’s got a great Streamline era design with the shrouded headlamp and motor, but I noticed the design motif on the belt cover looks to me like Art Deco. That hose looks to have seen very little use and I love that cobalt color! | ||

~ I'm not sure about the bag. The reason I thought it was bojack is because the graphics seem more modern than the machine, and the designation of "Champion" seems kind of generic. I have, or had, what I think is the original bag. The bag graphics match the graphics on the belt cap. I'll have to look and see if I do still have it.
Here's a great photo of the Hamilton Beach factory. It appears that the machine being manufactured is the polished version of the Model 14. | ||

Hmm
They do have similar bag attachment as Kirby and royal. Is there any connection between companies. Like Kirby helped make Franz premier, geier health mor basically related in early production. Black,Decker, lamb and a few others partnered on a eeze or vacuette. I believe eeze was Franz premier vacuum. Black, Decker became black and Decker lamb obviously made motors.

~ As I said in my original post, I thought I recalled having a couple of original Hamilton Beach bags so today I went down to my workshop to look for them. VOILA! Behold its retro splendor! It really makes the whole machine look 100% nicer! (The last photo is of the replacement bag.) | ||

@lesinutah For some time James Kirby did design vacuums for other companies while he perfected what is now known as the Kirby Vacuum. Apex was one company he designed vacuums for and a few others. I don't remember the other ones. It is possible that this one is one of his designs or similar. | ||

Indeed
Kirby utility vacuum was actually the frantz premier vacuum. Black and decker, lamb, amongst others along with Jim Kirby are credited for building it. He did help on quite a few vacuums. This vacuum looks sort of like the Kirby tradition. It's linked to Jim Kirby and I I really like the way it looks. It's kind of like a late 30s Mercury coupe.
