    Vacuum Cleaners in Montgomery Wards & JCP Catalogs

    Must get rid of my collection

    Storage units update I have only been able to get to my storage units a few times since my original post. I've been busy around the house trying to get things done here. Sadly the vacuums that didn't work are gone. They were in the smaller unit which I was able to clean out of many things...

    Must get rid of my collection

    I'm trying to get things moved around between my two storage units so that the larger of the two will just have the uprights and any other extras. With all the running around it hasn't been easy. For easier storage I took the handles and bags off. I will put them back together for photos and...

    Pictures of the vacuum plates I found a picture of the ID plates for the model 880 and model 992. I want to take more pictures of them when I'm able to.

    Damaged packages

    Has anyone else had a problem with packages arriving damaged or like someone tried to open them? This has happened over the past 6 months or so with many of my deliveries, no matter what I bought. It didn't matter who the carrier was, UPS, USPS, or FedEx. The worst was USPS. I've had this...

    The model 903 was listed as a commercial machine and sadly it did not have the original bag. The bag was a replacement and I replaced that one with what you see in the picture.
