Does anyone know when the Eureka 260 series was discontinued? I know I've seen Eureka promotional material from 1966 featuring it, and have seen newspaper ads as late as 1970 featuring it, but I suspect those may be remainders/leftovers. Eureka's shipping record only goes as far as 5/1964 for the 260B.

The last store advertisement I found in the online database was December 1967. Most 1968 ads either mentioned the Models 238 or 210—if identified. So production likely ended in mid-1967. The Model 270-A seems to have debuted in November 1967, and the 210-A in October 1968.

Here are some advertisements from 1967 & 1968:

1. 1967 Oct 24 DESERET NEWS - Models 260 & 238-A
2. 1967 Nov 2 DAILY UNION DEMOCRAT - Models 270-A & 238-K
3. 1968 Jul 3 GADSDEN TIMES - Models 238-K & 711-MV in Chrome
4. 1968 Sep 12 EVENING INDEPENDENT - Eureka Chrome Cleaners article (238-K & 711-MV?)
5. 1968 Oct 17 MERIDEN JOURNAL - Cordaway canister, Lightweight, Easy-Glide
6. 1968 Dec 7 DESERET NEWS - Model 210 & Tools

Now I'm wondering if the 260 became the 270...
