Out of curiosity, does anyone know when the last Hose-Port Eureka uprights were made? These newspaper ads are from 1969-70 and show a couple Hose Port models (the one from 8/25/69 was from The Bon Marche, a mid-range department store, and the other is from House of Values)

The top side hose port on Eureka uprights was replaced by the Dial-a-Nap height adjustment dial some time in the late 1960’s. So all you need to do is find the year in which the Dial-a-Nap feature was introduced. It could be 1970.
There is a really cool television commercial for the very first Eureka Vanguard with the extra large box-top dust bag which I think is from 1969. That very first Vanguard still had a top-side hose port. I will post a link…. |
