I picked up these two old Eureka vacuums today, the model R reminds me of a Kirby. Two more vintage vacuums to my collection.

I love finding them this dirty - it's that much more satisfying when they are polished! It's like being Indiana Jones finding the grail

The guy I got them from found them in a barn. The 238 works, the model R needs a new cord. I will fix them up when I get time. I have alot more vacuums that are in line first to get fixed up.

I can't find a lot of information on either of these vacuums. Can anyone help me out? Thank you.

Yes, there is a light in there, but it doesn't lift up.

Light

If it doesn't lift up would be more similar to the 1950s royal uprights.

I saw those on Ebay, wanted them but the shipping was just to much! I'm glad they found a home!

How much was shipping? They were 20 minutes away from me.

From Illinois to Illinois the shipping should have been virtually nothing - the only way it might have been high was if the seller just randomly guessed the shipping charges and box dimensions when listing it - with anything over so many inches high and weight, the shipping charge is catastrophic. The new dimensional rates that USPS and UPS/FedEx implemented virtually destroyed the vacuum cleaner market. It's like $50-$60 to ship a vacuum now :/
