And I'm wondering if this means my Penncrest A117 was built before 1964? Also, I'm thinking that the hand vac in the first one is actually a Dustette styled hand vac. The Pixie had a removeable nozzle so you could use attachments with it, but the Dustette had a permanently attached nozzle. Here's a couple pics of my A117 and my Pixie.

Also as an aside: it now just dawned on me - Canada’s Hudson Bay department store chain selected a similar name for their store-brand appliances which was “Baycrest”. We saw many Hoovers and Eurekas branded Baycrest in the 1960’s in their stores. Later in the 1970’s, The Bay changed the brandname to “Beaumark” which was more bilingual and made more sense in both French and English.
