Was it the 509 or the 510 that had the all-new lettering style for the Kirby logo on the bag and the belt lifter? According to Chuck Lester, he claims it was the 510 that had the revised (non-angular) cursive script. In other words, did the 509 have either the older-style 505/508 style lettering on the bag and belt lifter or did it have the 510/512 style lettering? It seems to me like a lot of the 509s have the 510-512-style script rather than the C-508-style script. Thus, if anyone with an unaltered, mint condition, possibly barely-used 509 could help me, I'd appreciate. Thank you, Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO kirbyclassiciii's LINK |

Hmmmm... well, you're the one person on the planet who calls me Chuck, but that's okay -- I've certainly been called worse!! :) |

If this story of "crossover" features/cosmetic details is true, I'd assume such older details were on lower serial #s of these certain models, and the newer details showed up on higher serial #s. Example: Early 513s not only had the older-style Kirby logo on the belt lifter but also on the nameplate. Later 513s had the then-current logo on the nameplate, which was already on the bag, boxes and instructions. ~Ben |
