The vac of the day was the start of it all for me. That was the one that my Mother had until I was six. To this day, the curved wand leading to the floor tool is pure beauty. I know other vacuums had similar ideas for reaching under furniture, but I just think the curves that Eureka had were excellent.
Of course, the suction was pure crap, and the house was never clean--not until I was given the task of vacuuming and a new "sweeper." I adoped the task with gusto and a Lux G (without the power nozzle--that was "too expensive.") For the new shag carpeting, we got a basic Eureka upright that choked on hair pins and filled the house with the smell of burned rubber.
Never heard of a Eureka Prince. Can anyone enlighten me, please?
Thanks,
Jay

Would love to see a picture of this Prince vac.........

I actually decided on the name "Eurekaprince" because I was convinced that even Eureka never used the name on any of their models!

The only Eureka "royalty" names I know the company used were as follows: Princess, Princess II, Crown Princess, Emperor, Empress, Empress II, Imperial (a "watt-based" marketing label)....and that's it.

Anyone have any ads or pics or documents showing the existence of a "Eureka Prince" vac?

I'm not sure.....

sorry for the sideways scan. Could it be the first or second one on this page of models shown for belt size? I think the second may be the Emperor....

I like the Eureka in the ad picture. I know it's a mock-up scene the woman is in, but you would never see me on that patio!

Because.....

of the heights? It actually looks like it might be real, given the shading and shadowing. Don't you dig her outfit?

Groovy!

She looks great, the implication of an upper floor apartment with a tiny balcony gives me vertigo. However, I could live on a 50th floor and look out the window with no trouble, because I wouldn't be going anywhere. And patio would have to be glassed-in.

Yeah, I know....

I CANNOT stand in a glass elevator, especially if it is mounted to the outside of a building. The elevator starts spinning for me. Ewwwwwhttp://www....I have to stay away from ledges on balconies, too. So, I understand.

off topic but

There is a building somewhere, maybe Chicago, that has a glass walk-out about 100 stories up. I won't go there either! Even if you gave me that Eureka.

Alan, that's the Sears Tower, although they have changed its name now. I haven't seen it yet but I hear it is fantastic. Terry

Thanks Terry, one of our local radio personalities went out in it, and he has rabid fear of height too. I'm guessing you don't!
