That's one beautiful Kenmore! I have the regular tank model without the cart. Also mine has the burgandy "nose cone" and side trim instead of chrome, and it is model 116.730. Yours was probably made in the early to mid 50's. Don't you just love the "prrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeennnnnnnn" sound it makes when you fire it up? Congrats, Jeff |

Eric Great find, absolutely with all the attachments, the card and a new hose. I would have grabed it in a New York Min ! I would not quit agree with Jeff on era. I would say late 40's going in to the early 50's. Norm |

I just checked an email I got from Steve Holvay a while back on production dates for the Kenmore tanks. According to the info he sent me, your Kenkart, model 116.732, was made from 1950 to 1953. Steve is a VCCC member and an expert on Kenmores, BeeVacs, and anything else made by Birtman Electric Co. of Chicago. He can probably give you more info if you email him at Sholvay52@aol.com Jeff |
