This is gorgeous and I’m dying that it was given away as an original Electrolux award to the salesmen. Electrolux really was the king of all electric vacuum cleaners.
I still have this exact model of the actual vacuum. It’s actually a darker turquoise blue than the one on the ashtray but it was the standard color that Electrolux’s came in.
Can’t wait to see more of your collection if this is any indication of what lies within!
