Nice Find! Robert, I have the same machine in my collection of Rexairs. Jeff was close, 1937 was the year of the Model B. One thing, in your picture, the curved end attaches to the hose and the straight end goes into the rug tool. Wasn't sure if you knew. See you in Ohio! Robb

Robert What a WONDERFUL find!! The machine is just FABULOUS and extremely rare!! When you go back for the washer, exercise due diligence in trying to locate the power head. That will be the most difficult piece of the puzzle inasmuch as obtaining matching tools will be much easier. I have my...

Logan Congrats on the new Miele. I love my Blue Moon and it is my daily driver. That bare floor tool is wonderful!! Mine did not originally come with one of those but Andy turned me on to it and sent me one last year (thanks again Andy!) The aqua color scheme is very retro and am thinking of...

Fred VERY NICE!! You have started something here because now, I want one too!! Perhaps I will birthday gift myself as well. Time to start looking. Robb

Andy You have some handsome machines there. I love the Jet 99. I have the Atlas, the brown hammertone version, not the typical red/gray color combination. I have NEVER seen an all chrome Rexair D. We have to touch base as it has been too long since we have spoken. I KNOW I will see you in...

Hey Rick The first clue about the condition is that it did not smell up the car on the way home!! LOL!! Not even a hint of the mustiness that is associated with some old vintage machines and you would have to admit, we would have noticed it in the close quarters of my car. Your magic hands will...

Shall I TURN IT AROUND??? LOL!!

Rick You've seen mine so I'll share with those who haven't. It's pristine and all complete. Robb

Fred Sorry to hear of the mishap but on the other hand, glad that it was not more catostrophic. Spoke with Jeff last night and he said you all were going to visit. See you in Feb <br Caio Robb

Tom YAY! Glad you were able to rescue these wonderful machines. They truly deserve to be in their new adoptive home and I know you will cherish them for many years to come. Robb

Sandy I too am surprised at your encounter with Miele. Our daily driver is a Blue Moon and my partner, not a vacuum enthusiast, LOVES it. He praises it as the best vacuum we have ever owned (and believe me, we have had many over the past 26 years together). The Miele dealer we have had...

Sandy We should all get together sometime to share collections. I understand there is also a collector in Jefferson, up north by Commerce. His name is Toby but not sure if he is a member yet. Hope you are considering the convention in Sept. Robb

Welcome Sandy I'm in Loganville, GA. Great to see we have another local member. My collection has downsized some from what it was 5 years ago and now I am "trying" to limit my purchases to the more obscure machines. We're glad to have you aboard! Robb Castaldo

Kyle VERY nice!! Those Bisons are different. I have only seen the green model in person but never the brown. Enjoy. Robb

Jeff The dusting brush and crevice tool are cream colored. The upholstery tool is 2 toned, cream and the bottom portion is green. The Rug tool is green with cream bumpers and the hose is green. It is an original hose but the plastic is a bit stiff after all these years but does not leak at all...

Rick You've seen my Lewyt Big Wheel model 90, which is green/cream with gold trim and wands. It won a double blue ribbon for the best original and straight suction cleaning contest at the Portland Convention. Because it was a double winner, it is retired from competition. I'll show it to you...

Jeff, good to see you back! You and Marty summed everything up quite well. Snaps to you both <br Robb

Miele Art Patrick, I LOVE my Art. I got it to supplement my Blue Moon for daily use. It is perfect for those quick pick ups and it has a unique sort of styling. Sort of reminds me of a modern day Westinghouse Convert-o-Vac. The only drawback is the cord is too short. Robb

Charles Since your friend's uncle has one in new condition, do you recall what type of hose it had? Someone told me that the original was gray with flecks of pink in it. I do not even remember these machines as a youngster so the original status escapes me. Robb

Tom This is my favorite Kirby model. I am really fond of red and this baby has everything. The shag rug rake, Handi-Butler, Shampooer, Handi-Waxer. It is in pristine condition. Robb
