Electrolux was a Swedish company. Their 1960s ad campaign in the UK had the slogan “Nothing sucks like an Electrolux.” They were smart enough to not use that catchphrase in the US.

My Mom had that exact model, probably used it for 20 years or more. She probably got it when first married, 1949.

The company opened its first U.S. vacuum plant in 1931 in Old Greenwich, Conn., one of the first Electrolux factories outside of Sweden.

Remember the Han Solo look...?
