Wow!
Just…wow! Well done Nick! One Kmart special I can add: upright model 666 in beige and orange…DAN, no headlight. It came with a basic tool kit with chrome wand and hose handle, no second wand and no floor brush. The vintage print ad for this model is easy to find on the internet. I think you can also add another feature: Edge Kleener (EK) which was just a pair of indented notches in the metal base plates of uprights and power nozzles to help clean up to baseboards. The difference between Rugulator upright 2082 and 2083 was the addition of Edge Kleener notches on the 2083, 2093, 2073 and 2043 uprights which came out a year after the 2082 and 2042 models. For canisters, you can also add the onboard Tool Pak tool storage, or a separate Accessory Caddy. For instance the Empress One from 1965 had a separate tool caddy, but the 1800 Empress Two “Fast Vac” series had on board Tool Paks. Also for canisters…not sure if you already did this, but in the 1950’s and 1960’s, some Eurekas came with a braided hose (BH) and others came with a rubber or plastic hose. It looks like Eureka went back and forth between the two kinds of canister hoses in both decades. |

This is fun!!!
You can also add Eureka’s “Christian Klingspor” Signature Series of vacuums. Klingspor was a famous Swedish designer and parent company Electrolux SE from Sweden seemed to think that putting his name on some Eureka models would be a good thing to do. These were mostly hard bodied Bravo uprights from the early 1990’s, but there was even a CK edition of the compact Mighty Mite II canister. Not sure of the model numbers though. I guess these could get the CK code? Calvin Klein? 😁 |

Coincidentally enough, I just picked up a Eureka 1443 Typ. A at Goodwill this weekend. It was 40% Off $11.99 and I couldn't leave it sit there.
4.0 amps, burgundy or dark maroon color. No headlight. Metal hood. Brushroll is a mix of red rubber beater bars and bristles and is either painted wood or metal. Whatever model this is, it only exists in text on Vacuumland. There is no other collectors with a photo of theirs on Vacuumland or videos on YouTube at all. |

Here it is ! It also came with a half-used pack of bags, 2 new packs of belts (one torn open but not used), and one new generic/no brand belt.

Ah I see, wow. Yeah I wonder if that's why this is rare? Either nobody bought it, or they all got used up and junked?
There was a Montgomery Ward shampooer paired with this in the store that I also bought, that is from 1978, and I wonder if both of these came from the same house and the person was a real money miser and just bought the bare minimum of everything - as they actually wrote the price of the shampooer on the manual - $38. It was a very cheap shampooer. Also makes me wonder if these were from the same house, if the Eureka also came from Montgomery Wards too? |

I might have a lead. I found this article however it is from 1978 but I can't view or enlarge it. It mentions an Eureka Model 1443, but with 6 pos. dial-A-nap and headlight, before the OCR devolves into gibberish. It is a store ad for a place called "Woolco".

More information - I found an "89" date wheel stamped on the base, and some youtube comments.
