    Thinking of selling The Eureka Boss

    Then what should I used to test out machines? And I think the bag is in right. I turned it on and the bag puffs up really big, with air coming out from the top.

    Thinking of selling The Eureka Boss

    I am thinking of getting rid of my Eureka Boss 1934A. It just does not pick up well. Though I am still undecided, but if I do, I would probably price it at $120. I was wiping all the dust down with clorox, and when I got to the bottom of the vacuum, sugar came out of the brush roll area. Like...

    I live in El Paso, TX. Are there any collectors in El Paso besides me?

    Current Upright Vacuum Collection

    Well, I have the original head-lamp, but it broke. The user took the vacuum to a place where they pack and ship for you. So he took the vacuum as a whole, and those people at that place took the vacuum apart. They somewhat broke the head-lamp. I will show you a picture, because I still have it...

    Current Hand Vacuum Collection

    I only have two hand vacuums. The P.A. Geier B257 with an Aldens Bag, and a Dirt Devil Plus 08130. I got the Dirt Devil Plus new in its box in 2012 off ebay for $30. I don't have the box anymore, because I used it to ship my old Dirt Devil 08100. I gave that to a friend who wanted a hand vacuum...

    How old is this P.A. Geier Hand Vacuum Model B257?

    I officially tested it out yesterday with the washed bag on the machine. I used shredded paper. It picks up so well. I have never seen a vacuum with such strong suction. Too bad they don't make vacuum cleaners like they used to. One problem I have with this hand vacuum is that the dust and dirt...

    How old is this P.A. Geier Hand Vacuum Model B257?

    Those pictures I took were before I washed the bag. Hopefully now, the bag will not have those brown marks.

    How old is this P.A. Geier Hand Vacuum Model B257?

    The guy at the vacuum store told me it could be from late 20s early 30s. Maybe he did not know what he was talking about. And the guy on ebay who obviously lied to me told me it was used very little and the scratches are from age. The ebay guy knew nothing about vacuum cleaners obviously. He was...

    How old is this P.A. Geier Hand Vacuum Model B257?

    So Ben says it's from before 1966. I think he is right. The guys at the vacuum store who collect vacuum cleaners told me it could be from the late 20s early 30s. I am thinking 30s. That Royal Crown looks like it could be from the 20s as well. I also washed the bag because of how dirty it is. I...

    How old is this P.A. Geier Hand Vacuum Model B257?

    How old is this Vintage P.A. Geier Hand Vacuum Model B257? Someone told me it could be from the 1920s or 1930s. I got this on Ebay for $50. The user told me it was only used a few times and that the scratches are from age. Also, was Aldens a Department Store? I have a feeling that the B257s are...
