Looks like a 1960 model 560, or maybe a 1961 model 561. Looks all original except the hose, *GRAB IT*, the cord alone is worth that!

Going by the bag and assuming it's original, it's a Model 560 or 561.

If you can

flip it over there should be a service plate on the belly of the beast! I hope you get it.

As others have pointed out, you found either a model 560 (1960-61) or a 561 (1961-62). It also has the original gray bag and red trim, and also the original cord.

At $20, I recommend you buy this please.

561 with belt lifter is post 519 to 560 to da80 belt lifter. The yellow boxes are for a specific year. The vacuum is truly stunning when polished up. Electrolux 137 has one and it's a beauty.

At $20 I would say snatch it up NOW, find out what model it is later! From what I can see from the pic, the bag alone is worth that much. But if I had to make a guess, I would say 519, with a few newer replacement parts. Good luck, hope you get it!
