Marty’s bags Are truly a work of art. I’ve purchased three, and I could not be a happier customer. They’re perfection!

I do have an extra 66 right now.. She purrs lovely and like new. It is ready for a new home.

The model 70... Launched in 1964! Model 70- 1964-1966. Delft blue and Pearl white with silver trim. Most models have large medallion last models have small stick on.

Thanks, Pete! Those are so fun to see! The Premier Grand did get done, but it is another Premier product :)

A few other goodies…

These are fun machines They’re very, very tiny.

You’re acting as though this vacuum is being used daily…

Yes sir. BFA in Musical Theatre

Just before the pandemic I was going into Dear Evan Hansen. Reopening December W 172nd/Fort Wash. I did 42nd Street regionally back when I was 19… fun show. Ensemble never stops quick changing and moving! Kieran: No, this was a local find. I’ll post some pictures.

Re dye: I completely removed the old base color (turning the bag off white) before dying in red. This is a trick they also use on Broadway costumes to make extremely vibrant color. If you find a great costume piece in the wrong color, you remove the old dye and make it any color you want. As...

Yes we do :) As you know Broadway is still shut down for the time being, and myself and my best friend both work there! I’m an actor, and she is a stitcher by day and dresser by night! We have teamed up to bring these gorgeous recreations of original Hoover bags! They’re amazing quality...

I saw this as earlier today. It isn’t labeled Torrington, but it is definitely the model B

I believe this was a bright orange Singer machine. Chad S has/had one. It was very cool looking!

Tom.. Thanks for that info! I did not know about the inception of Apex. That’s great to carry forward, thank you. A small video of this powerful sucker running!

Les- I do know this is pre-1922 and probably around 1920. Wasn’t sure if someone know for sure or not. I don’t actually use the drill/impact for polishing, just drilled a hole for a replacement bag hook ;) good eye on the Milwaukee products, though!

It’s definitely not a secret! I have projects backed up for months. Currently over 100 just waiting to be redone. I purchase in bulk whenever they come up. I get emails from folks all the time wanting stuff gone whether it be barns, I bought the ESSCO collection, other collectors, etc. Facebook...
