Saw these on eBay today never knew they made them wonder if they are any good. I have always used the hoover bags.

I have them! I have a 1950's base model Royal upright model 153 I think it has the cover you need and I have the original hose, hose converter tools instructions and box for the Acc. Neat box made of cardboard but has metal clasp and canvas handle. The hose is minty as are the tools. I would be...

The Kirby bug!! I grew up with a legacy II. I still remember the sales man coming by and doing his thing. Seems back the. They did not rush the demo as much as they do now. The guy used the shampooer to do our whole ha way. I have watched some demos on you tube and these guys fly throught it...

And to add Had to add to this one I did not see a model 153 in fact I rarely see any. GreAt machine once I get a new bag on for it she will see daily service. Would be nice to have a light like the 215 but then it would not be a 153.

Not to bad The plate on the bottom looks like its rusty but still it is a nice little machine should look great after the spa treatment.

The bag If you get a new bag I would love to by your old one. I have a kirby that is side lined because it does not have a bag. -Zach

I am in the market for a Royal upright. I am not picky on age or model but would like disposable bag and headlight. Does not have to be perfect ill take a fixer upper so long as it has a good bag. Up for trade is my 1963 hoover dial a matic in green runs great could use a new cord and brushroll...

More pictures It's a nice machine but I am going to need a new bag to make it a daily driver. If anyone has a bag they are willing to sell let me know. I want to put a none shakeout bag on it. I would also be willing to swap this one for a newer royal upright. I really like the light blue ones...
