The bag on the later model 7 was laundered and has had a general rougher life(black overspray from the last owner on the bottom near the clip and inlet for example). The older bag also has a wire ring in it to keep its shape, imagine those wore through the bags alot. Also, the bag tension is the only thing that holds the handle up lol. Its funny, the Eureka 7 is the lowest I've ever paid for a vac at $1.17, and the 4 is the highest at $410 total.
Scott- You will find some old Eurekas, just give it time. The one on the right I got locally for $1.17 from an auction. There is a seriously untouched model 7 with brush, hose and socket plug in MN for $75 right now. I have a spare Eureka 9 and G2 if you are interested, neither have original bags or switches though, and the G2 is more of a parts machine. | ||

I think $70 and around there seems like a normal price.
I got both my 9's (same seller) for about $75 or so (and thats with shipping). I can;t remember if that was for each or both, but I bought both because the other one I thought might be a different model. It turned out both were the same model but with different bags. | ||

Took some additional pics tonight. I did forget to include the 2 small wheels hidden inside the head.
Looks like the second tag says it was dealt to a hotel? The rear wheel is spring loaded to go either way, though I think if it is facing towards the head it is in "storage mode" as it rubs against the motor. | ||

Nope, there isn't. The letter before the serial number on the really old models mean nothing that I know of. Your serial number indicates it to be a model 11, and one of the last ones. They were made from Jan 1928 - June 1934. The serial numbers started with 2012436, and ended with 2328320.
If you're interested in selling the 2 speed G let me know, I've been looking for one.
