The earliest Metro hand vac I own is an avacado green unit from 1973 that is identical to the NIB brown machine in my pic above but has an older black cord and plug and different color bags. I have seen these from the 60's on Ebay and they use shorter more stubby bag and motor cover retainer ends and a more old fashioned assortment of tools. They are usually copper colored too from this time era. Here is a link to the current black 500 hand vac which is essentially the same unit that was sold back in the 60's and 70's but with a slightly more powerful motor and different tools. Sadly these hand vacs are gutless wonders when the bag has anything more than a few crumbs of dirt and are really only good for very light duty dusting. Still I think they are very neat and the fact that they have been around so long virtually unchanged is really quite something. The canisters I hear are quite powerful.
