My mother owned a few vacuum cleaners back in the day , one of which was a GE straight suction canister in avacado green . A few relatives in NC had a few of the Premier Electric brands both straight suction and with the PN. These were pretty common to see back in the 70s.

Hi Keith! Another set of gorgeous vintage vacs - pristine condition too!
Never noticed the two different sizes of Swivel-Top GEs. What is the primary difference between the two sizes? Size of motor? Bag? And did one size debut earlier than the other? And yet both sizes were retained by Premier in the 70’s. |

Beautiful collection. Beautiful display. I'm so impressed. I did not know there was a swivel top with a pn. Excellent job ! |

In your first pic, it looks as though the gold G.E. on the far left is larger than the 2-tone G.E. to the right of it. I’m not familiar with 2 different Swivel-Top sizes. |

You're welcome! 🙂 Another bit of trivia is that the "lowboy" models were identified in a different numeric range as the users manual cover illustrates:

Round vacuums like this aren't stairs friendly. You can't stand them on end for storage so they take less floor space in a closet. There's no on board tool storage. |
