If you click on the link below, you will get a clearer picture of the 3330 canister. It is probably from the early 1980’s - maybe 1982 or 1983.
The 3000 series is basically a newer line of budget compact Princess canisters - newer versions of the 700 series (not the larger 1600 Sweet Sixteen series). The 1970’s square Princesses had a larger plastic hood latch that doubled as an exhaust diffuser and rear leg to stand on when the canister was positioned on its end. The 3000 series cheapened that part of the vacuum and you just got a metal latch to secure the cover in place. CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |

I found an October 15, 1982, ad for the model 3330 (likely Type A). Thanks for the correction, Brian.

According to the schematics, the 1800 Series immediately succeeded the 500 & 700 Series followed by the 3000 Series. Eureka Schematic 3200-3300-3400-3500-3700 Series |
