I bought this old thing in December 1984. It was a Christmas present to myself. Bernie Vandeveer was the branch office, senior manager, and he sold it to me. The hose was replaced with a vinyl hose about 20 years into its life.

Oh I love how you have those mixers displayed on the shelf. The colors look so much more striking with that dark shelf.
Also wow, that man baking the cake ad must have been highly controversial for those times!
And are those Lewyt electronics the ones that famously would electrocute people? Fortunately I learned of this problem before I ever found one, or that might be a bad experience. lol

What a great cleaning combination. An old General Electric and an old Hoover.
GE Swivel Tops
Did all the GE swivel tops have a 750-watt, reverse-flow motor? Years ago I had a model V11C65 (centered swivel top) with such a motor. Just wondering.

The GE swivel tops did have a reverse flow or upside down motor they had 600-750 and 830 watts depending on year 1952-1972 were the years they were built.

That pink Lewyt is a blast from my past! That's the first vacuum cleaner I remember as a child. Ours was charcoal gray on the bottom and the motor unit was Pepto-Bismol pink, as were the tools. The only other one I've seen like that was in a photo of Hans Craig's collection. Although I'm feeling kind of overrun with vacuums these days, and not actively seeking to add any more to my collection, a Lewyt like that is one I'd make an exception for.

Doesn’t the old Kenmore look fierce? And he can actually clean the rug very well.

Old Hoovers from right after World War II. Notice Lucille Ball was doing the advertising for the brand new tank type model.
