Wow! That’s a pretty impressive list, Paul!
Would you be able to add a unique British Hoover canister which was also sold in Canada in the 1960’s? It was a 120volt version of the Hoover Harlequin. In fact, I think we saw I remember seeing the name “Harlequin” used in the print ads here. See below for a British “advert” of the vacuum….. CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |

There is one more Lightweight Upright to be added: the 1354A "Dirtsearcher," which was mostly similar to the original U.K.-spec model, but with 120-volt plug.
This may have had final assembly in Burlington, Ontario, since the Hamilton, Ontario plant that was Hoover Canada's original manufacturing facility closed in 1972. ~Ben |
