Sanitaire tank Looks like they were positioning themselves to go after Electro Hygiene, considering the name, styling, “germ trap”…. | ||

Hey Brian, Do you happen to have any specific MW model numbers? All that I'm finding in the 1940-1955 database are classified ads. | ||

I second Brian's initial comment to you, Doug! Thanks! I wonder, now, if the W-60 was the "Sanitaire". I assumed the W-64 was. I prefer the styling of the M/W ones. | ||

Hey Paul - I also have a picture (below) of one other model that I have no clue what model number it would have been.

Sounds reasonable, Brian. Thanks! Maybe you could check out your library's database sometime and see what Canadian newspaper ads are in it? | ||

Check out thread 38104 that shows a 1950 manual featuring (presumably) the Model 600. www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi... | ||

Thanks for posting this Paul! Fascinating! And I finally get to see one of Eureka’s industrial designers in real life! This is great! Wish I could find out more names of designers who worked at Eureka…especially during the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Hmmm…”Viso Tool Kit”? Fascinating! First time I heard of the cardboard tool carrier called that name! By the 1960’s, so many vac-makers were offering cardboard tool carriers. The designs of these carriers were quite ingenious, even though they often did not stand up to hard use over the years. The hole at the top of our Eureka tool caddy ripped at some point so you no longer had a “handle hole” to carry the caddy around. I wonder if there was one single manufacturer who made these tool carriers for Hoover and Eureka and Singer and GE. Would be interesting to learn who made them for all the companies….. | ||
