My GF was cleaning out her moms place and came across this Kirby vac and this head,I’m not sure if it’s for it or not, also not sure if that is the OG bag. Cord is nice, nothing looks to be broken.
I will be happy to ship to anyone here, looks like it’s a Kirby 1HC , it says 1981 on bag is in great condition the model tag on the bottom , works, light bulb is burned out it looks like.

The 1HC Heritage was a special model made for Canada (hence the "C" instead of "D" for domestic).

Yes, the orange bag is correct for that machine. It's one of the Heritage's more distinctive features. Not sure whether the carpet fluffer head really goes with it, although it may fit. The red belt lifter handle makes me think it might be for a Classic III, which was two models back from the Heritage.

Values on this or any other vacuum are a moving target, largely dependent upon the buyer and where/how it is being sold. They want crazy money for them on eBay and they go for a pittance at thrift shops.

Edgar,

The red belt lifter appears to be for models 509 to 515 going by the script logotype, but the nozzle casting design itself suggests models 516 to Sanitronic VII.

The correct Miracle Head for this machine, though, had a dark gray powder-coated casting and also doubled for use with the Rug Renovator tray and brush roll.
