I scored this private label Sanitaire from HiBid today, I love these! Any clue of an original model or year this is from?

'Power Flite'... sounds like an amalgam of 'Power Glide' and 'Torque Flite' lol

Is that by any chance made in Texas?
If it is they are a really cheap knockoff off Sanitaire.

It's not a knock off sanitaire The motor is bigger and I could be wrong but NSS has something to do with producing it. If anything it's like a Montgomery Ward type but a bigger motor.
If you want to see a knockoff go look at bissells new commercial lineup there knock offs.

It is a economical version of the Well known Eureka Sanitaire vacuums for the commercial market. Parts between the two are interchange able. We have used them many years ago. Bissell has a similar vacuum.

The bag is odd, there's a name on it of Vibra Kleen Venturi. There is a sateen like material tube in it. It does seem powerful and is in really good condition, I doubt it saw heavy commercial use.
