I think that is a 513 or 514 based on the bag. The 513 was the first to use that bag. The 515 did not have the v style strips on it. The 515 had just the newer logo, and plane grey corduroy, pictured below. I would love to find two bags like that for my 513 and 514...nice

James,
I do have to agree with you on that now: the 513 was also the last machine to assume the version of the black cord I see in that picture. Starting with model 514, it looked like what you see in the attached picture below... Also, only the last few 515s originally got out with the gray wheels, and also the red plastic attachments and vinyl hose, when they were announcing the forthcoming 516. ~Ben

Kirby 515 grey wheels
I think these are the rarest Kirby wheels made.

Logan,
Do they have the smooth finish? If so hang on to them. These were used on the 515 and a few 516's before going to the grey ribbed style, as seen here on my 561.
