Nice Nice find. Enjoy it.

Which Convertible does it belong to? It's an early '70's Convertible, but am unsure which one. Great to see a vintage Hoover manual. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Stunning collectipn. Indeed, heavenly Hoover. Tom's collection is out of this world. Love em

The '60's I for the most part only collect Hoover, and I feel that Hoover has achieved an advancement in every decade. For me, the 1960's is my favorite decade of Hoover, but my favorites span the '50's-'90's. Model 69 is my favorite Convertible. But, I love most of them. Innovation was/is the...

Amazing Fab find. Looks like new. Congrats.

Age I believe these models to be late '70's-mid '80's. There was a series of Guardsman products, and this was the upright. Great looking vacuum! Enjoy!

Original Hi, it appears to be; the cord assembly may have been updated to today's standards as I believe the UK requires this. Anyway, it's a smart looking vacuum. Hope you win it. Ron

Nice It looks to be 1960's-early '70's. If I still had my old Wards catalogs I could try to look it up and see if a date fits. Otherwise, enjoy this unusual clean looking vacuum. Where did you find it? Ron

Ben Thanks for your input, as it is so helpful too. What I was thinking was true, and you verified it. Thanks, Ron

Fred Thanks for your insight, and your knowledge of Hoover is always impressive. I agree that back in the UK these were probably old stock parts that were continued in use for years. Sometimes, it's hard to date them. Ron

Cool It's exciting to see an appliance from 101 years ago still work, and function as it should. Amazing.

Bad News I still say stay away. I would wait until someone unrelated sells one. It is odd to have something like this be handled on eaby in this way. Two likely related sellers selling this in the ways they have is troublesome.

Stay Away It could be a returned vacuum that was defective. I worked for Hoover then, and this was often the case with an open box. Opened is indeed, suspicious. Be cautious about this. Unscrupulous sellers abound. I have had bad experiences on ebay, so caution is key. Ron

Hoover Convertible Model 69 Model 69 is the oldest I have. And, it is in mint condition. Early Convertibles were so beautiful.
