Another key indicator is the silver hose: these Princess canisters came with blue or white or beige hoses up until the early 1980’s. European style silver hoses were introduced in 1983 with the debut of the first Eureka Mighty Mite canister….probably influenced by Eureka’s takeover by Swedish Electrolux a decade earlier.
So this red Princess is definitely from the mid 1980’s, not earlier. |

And here’s a YouTube clip of a more deluxe version of that red Princess canister from the same time period….1985 or 1986 or 1987. It’s got the same silver hose and the same brandname lettering on the handle. It came with black tools as you can see in the video…

Well the only problem is that it's kind of far from where I live. (It's for sale on on an app, not eBay). So I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to drive all the way out there. Lol decisions, decisions. I'll see if the seller can take a couple more pictures. |

If you have to physically drive out to get it so far away, I personally would pass on it. If it was available to be shipped, then I would consider it. It's a budget cleaner and this is towards the end of its lengthy run that Eureka released these in since the 1960's. There's literally nothing to it. Hose and suction and you turn it on and that's about it. This would have been the very late 80's or early 90's, possibly around the same time as the "Ironsides" release.
