Got this vacuum for $50 from a local vacuum shop. It's a Canadian-made Hoover model 618. It came with a complete set of attachments, hose, and a couple of bags, even a handisac which it does not take. I was super excited to add this to my collection. It runs and sounds great. I love these old...

My mid 1960's Eaton's renown branded Hoover from Canada.

It sounds not bad already, brush roll spins nicely, bag is in great shape. Nice to meet a fellow Canadian collector.

I’ll probably do a bit of work on it. I need to get a new bulb for it

My new Hoover 281 along with my Hoover 61 and Hoover 0211 Polisher

Here is my Canadian built Hoover Model 619A that I picked up for $50 in a local vacuum shop. There are some minor holes in the top of the bag, and its missing the hose. It runs nice.

Kirby Classic III bag I'd be interested in a Classic III plaid bag as mine is leaking dust at the bottom. Would you ship to Canada?

Handi-waxer No, mine didn't come with the handi-waxer. I'm hoping I can just buy the attachments I need rather than buying a duplicate set.

Picked this up at a yardsale for $50 CAD. Needs some work, new bag, new fan, new hose, but it had most of the tools, missing only the straight and curved extension wands. Included are the miracle head, the handi butler, and the rug renovator.

Finally got myself a Kirby Classic III. I've always loved the look of this model and when one was posted locally on Facebook Marketplace for a decent price I couldn't say no. It has the original bag too. All it needs is a polish and a new light bulb. I will need to buy the attachments for it, as...

Favourite Hoover My favourite would be the Model 61 or the Canadian 616. I'm hoping to get one of my own one day but I haven't had any luck finding one yet.

My grandma had a hoover model 61 that I loved as a child. I am hoping I can eventually find one to have.

My U4169 When I got my Hoover U4169 the bellows didn't have the belt to hold the inner bag so in its place was a cut pepsi bottle taped to the bellows. Also around where the brush roll was all dried mud.

Just acquired this Eatons branded Hoover on the weekend. Anyone else have one and can tell me more about it?

Do you ever come to Calgary?
