Checkrate/Likes 2020 marks several milestone anniversaries of some collectible and/or conversational surface cleaners and accessories in the antique—vintage—classic category. To be both accurate and consistent, I went with the years of mass sales introduction—not necessarily the year of beginning manufacture or introduction to the sales force or test field. For instance, the Kirby Classic 1-CR's manufacture began in late 1969 according to the name plates of the first runs but were not sold widely until January 1970; and the Electrolux Corporation's Model G sales campaign began in January 1961 after its late 1960 initial manufacture (its manual's cover was a full-color version of the Model R's 3-color design; so the 1960 copyright year on the inside was unchanged). The following information was mostly collected from Vacuumland posts. Please help make this list more complete: 110th - Lux & Elektromekaniska's Salus (Swedish copy of the American Santo, which inspired Axel Wenner-Gren to produce the Lux Model 1 vacuum cleaner in 1912); note: the two companies merged as 'Electrolux' in 1919. 90th - Electrolux Europe's Model XII 85th - The Kirby Company's Model 2R & 2C 75th - The Kirby Company's Model 505 70th - The Kirby Company's Model 510 65th - Electrolux USA's Model LXI; Hoover USA's Constellation Models 84 & 84B; The Kirby Company's Model 515 60th - Electrolux USA's Model R & PN-1, Electrolux Europe's Models Z64 & Z65; Hoover USA's Constellation Model 88 & Convertible Model 67; The Kirby Company's Model 560 55th - Electrolux Europe's ZC90, "Trident" U136 & "Challenge" Models U137 & U138; Electrolux USA's Model CB; The Kirby Company's DS50 50th - Electrolux Europe's Z87, Z310 & Z170; The Kirby Company's Classic CR-1; Hoover USA's Constellation Model 858 45th - Electrolux Europe's Z345 & Twin Z502; Electrolux USA's Super J 1401; Hoover USA's Convertible Models U4057, U4059, U4061, U4063, U4037, U4039, U4031, U4033, U4053, U4075 & U4087 40th - Hoover USA's Convertible models: U4083, U4121, U4123, U4127, U4129, U4147-002, U4165, U4171, U4173, U4175, U4185-001, U4189, U4193, U4195-001, U4301, U4303, U4305, U4307, U4309, & U4311 35th - Electrolux USA/Canada's 2100, L-E 1623, 2101 Shampooer-Polisher, 2102 Trivac & Litt'l Lux 1557 (rebadged Sanyo); Hoover USA's Convertible models: U4363, U4365, U4367, U4369, U4371-042, U4373, U4377, U4379, U4387, U4389, U4393, U4395, U4397, U4399, U4401, U4405, U4409, U4411, U4413, U4413-042, U4423, U4431, U4443, U4449, U4519, U4521, U4523, U4531, & U4595 30th - Electrolux USA/Canada's Ultralux 1521, Ambassador Plus 1623 & Lux Lite rebadged Regina PowerTeam; Hoover USA's Convertible Models 704-01 & 706; The Kirby Company's Generation 3 25th - Electrolux USA/Canada's Ambassador III C101G 20th - Electrolux USA/Canada's Lux 3000 U110Y, Lux 4000 U140A, Little Lux 1673A, Lux Drilux D146A _____________ Also, check out this link to Electrolux Group's "Stories" page, including historical overviews of its floor polishers, dust bags, cleaner transformations, & more: www.electroluxgroup.com/e...

Checkrate/Likes 119th Anniversary of the British Vacuum Cleaner Company. "Booth received his first patents on 18 February and 30 August 1901." (according to Wikipaedia). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Cec... A few years ago, the UK version of the Google Doodle celebrated Mr Booth's vacuum. I think it was on the 4th of July.
