I purchased the Electrolux Commemorative Edition that was advertised here on VLand and the machine unlike the first one I purchased, is actually new and unused ✌🏽✨✨✨✌🏽 The seller was very kind and he provided a demo via Facetime to validate the condition and performance of the machine. The new car smell is rockin and the hose is sealed !!! I’m stoked!!! No thread hijacking or low jacking please 😆

I wonder how many of the 1000 are still around?

I also wonder how many are unused?

I personally would never let this touch dirt which is why I would find it hard to have one of these.

Eventually in time any unused examples should be preserved for the future.

Just my opinion.

Great machine though.

Glad you finally righted the wrong and came away happy :)

Funny they spelled the poor guy's name wrong on the outer label, lol

What’s the story on the Ron Dealey ?
Is that like Burt Reynolds signs a car?

I’m talking about the name on the vac, the vac has some guys name on it.
Why do you post if you don’t want comments I own and run a forum, I know what it’s all about.

I know where there are two of these unused and unawarded, in addition to the one I obtained from Electrolux for the VCCC (who knows what they did with it?). I remember taking mine out of the box, that nice smell, and then I used it to clean the house many times.

Detroit dirt bag….I think you missed something

The commemorative editions were given to the sales reps. And Electrolux had one made for each rep with their name on it. Some reps have passed away or otherwise aren’t interested in the machines and therefore are starting to get passed along. There is an earlier thread that talks about this machine being for sale and there is reference to it’s history and Ron Deeley.

The VCCC owns one.

Not hijacking, but. it has been entrusted to several members for a year at a time, then, going on to the next. I'm requesting that is be sent to me next, as the convention is near me.

The trio of vacs are all Electrolux Commemorative Editions. I’ve gathered them over the course of several years. My first one was a VIP CE that was presented to Gary Griffin, who at the time, was president of Electrolux. The second one is one of the un-awarded models that Tom Gasko spoke of that I purchased from him. My third one was an eBay purchase just a couple of years ago. The seller said it was given to their mother who used it, but it doesn’t have an award plaque on it, so I can’t be sure. Thanks!
Steve

How old are those machines. ‘80’s? ‘90’s?

Such a wonderful and beautiful find, especially that it's never been used except for demonstration and in the original packaging! Enjoy!

I wanted to thank everyone for your kind feedback and support! I’ve wanted a new Elux Commemorative Edition for quite sometime and this machine adds as another crown jewel 💎 to my Electrolux collection!

@ Steve and Johnnyb59c: The Commemorative marked the 25th Anniversary of the introduction of the modernized body and style of the Electrolux Canister Vacuum, the Model 1205 , which was first introduced in 1968. So the Commemorative was manufactured in 1993.
