<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I just heard the news about Mark Thomas from a phone message from Billy Lipman. His passing, and that of David, were just very sad. I know David had some serious health challenges, but I did not know that Mark was...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow, the site is off to a great start. Thanks for posting this. </span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">....and....I'm not sure where s/he gets the idea that it's the first bagless vacuum. Sure looks like it has a bag to me. Ridiculous price, pure silliness.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">By our very own Jimmy Martin.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ours was a Hoover Model 28. I think it was purchased right after World War II. Lovely brown beast.</span>

'Scuse me <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">NOT one of Jimmy Martin's....</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The "floor" on this one is $320. One hour left to go, with 18 bids in. This is going to be interesting. Jimmy Martin stands to make a mint on this one. This machine style has always fascinated me. Good luck to whoever gets it. I...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Happy Birthday, Hoover. Thanks, John.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Very nice.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lovely.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Robert - I think I have a bumper for your Model 300, if you would like it. I need to FIND it first, though....John</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What great pictures, Will. Thanks for posting them. The adventure at Fred's looked like fun. I'm sorry I missed the convention. It was wonderful to see Ruth Hollander's pictures, too.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am not sure where that device would be located on the machine - maybe down on the motor housing near the wheels? I've never seen either model in person. Does anyone else have any knowledge of either model?</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As the cleaning article details, there is an indicator bar on the Westinghouse that warns you of problems with the bag. Does yours have anything like that? In the Crisco sweepstakes ad, it is called the Servi-Sentinel, a device...

Here's the cleaning article, showing the Westinghouse <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There's also a shot of the Hoover Model 26, and the General Electric DeLuxe, and a Cadillac upright.</span>

Here are some pictures of a similar model <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What I found were two references to what appears to be the same model (#RDA-3). One is a Crisco sweepstakes contest, which gave away 1,200 Westinghouse upright cleaners (!). This contest...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for the great pictures of your Westinghouse. I am going to go through my ad collection. I believe I have something about that model. It is, I believe, 1930's. I'll get back to you.  </span>   <span...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes, Cole,</span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I was just thinking of posting something about those jetpack Electroluxes from "Tomorrowland" - thanks for...

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Yes, it looks original. Very nice find.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I love mine. I found it at a thrift store in like-new condition for $20. Someone had used it to vacuum a bare floor, never emptied the cup or changed the filter, and there it sat. I don't think they ever washed a floor with it. It...
