Out of curiosity, does anyone have any other full-line Eureka upright advertisements like the one I shared (thanks OpelGTKarl)? Also, any ideas when it's from (I'm thinking it's 1972, based on newspaper advertising available.)

I found some others; although I'm uncertain of their publication years, except for the 1969 (white/yellow) brochure and 1991 catalog page. I think most - if not all - were posted by Spiritof76. |

Yeah, I thought of you when I noticed that! I wonder if that would have been produced in observance of the company's 65th anniversary in 1974 due to the use of the script logomark? |

I'm also thinking that some ranges were regional. I'm basing some of this theory on what I've noticed with typewriters--in the Seattle metro area, of typewriters that came in a choice of red, harvest gold, light blue, and gray, light blue and gray are the colors I'm most likely to find. Similarly, most of the vacuums I've seen, including Eureka and Hoover, are either white, or some shade of blue. So, I'm guessing that most of the Eurekas sold in the Northwest are models that came in blue.
