1956
I remember being in Macy’s in Richmond, Calif. in 1956 and seeing these Lewyt Vacuums on display. At 5 years old I thought they were really special with those huge wheels and the pretty colors. I had a particular fascination with any kind of canister vac because everyone that I knew had uprights and canisters seemed exotic to me. I wanted to get a chance to play around with one to see how they worked.
