    1956 Westinghouse-Betty Furness Vacuum Commercial

    The Royal tanks and canisters had disposable bags by this ti That may be, but they werent bags in the sense or style like you see on the scale. One was a big round style for their pot can with a huge open mouth, and the othr one woulda looked like the liners for the Electrolux 30. So neither of...

    1956 Westinghouse-Betty Furness Vacuum Commercial

    The machines.... Machine (A) is a Hoover. That adjustable wand collar available on the first Constellations gives it away. Also the slinky hose as the lady is vacuuming back and forth does kinda give away the Veriflex hose too.If you pause the clip at about 2:01 you can see the middle wand...

    what vacuums do you use the most?

    When we moved recently.... I kinda decided that I needed a bulletproof that wasnt a collectable, or to me a rare machine. I bypassed anything that I knew did not have an ample supply of repair parts If one needed one. So I dredged out my old reliable Electrolux Golden J. I had bought a new...

    Singer/Westinghouse

    I worked at the Mansfield plant for about 6 months in 1977 Jeff, I forgot you told me that you worked for Westy back then. Thank you for clearing up the dates. If anyone should know this information, it would be you. I also remember us discussing the plant, and that they were tearing it down...

    Singer/Westinghouse

    Would you say this model is the best and brightest of the &# Jimmy, yeah the banana yellow color was possibly the most wild out of all Singers Vacuums up to that point. The Following model which was black, cream and chrome/aluminum accents, which I believe MoparHemiPower has; was their final...

    Singer/Westinghouse

    Other than this one I have only seen in a 1967 Bennett's Jimmy that would make sense. As my catalog is a Bennett Brothers from 1966. So Clearly it was out there, just not in my book!!!

    Singer/Westinghouse

    Did Singer make their uprights? John and others, In short, YES, Singer DID make their uprights. At least this model anyway. The high dormer hood, and metal base was eventually used for their TOL Singer Golden Power-Master U-69 of about 1975. I have one so I know this as fact. The other slight...

    Sunbeam 2+2

    didn't know Sunbeam made uprights like that until now.Su Just a chime in.... The Sunbeam Company only made their own canister vacuums, and maybe their scrubber buffers to my knowledge. Sunbeam, I think found the cost of making their very OWN upright too high, or maybe just never even tried to...

    Sunbeam 2+2

    Looks pretty neat. Hey, Thats a pretty low mileage twin fan there. Nice that it's a metal base so it's not as loud as a jet taking off. Seems like whomever had that used it very little, or ended up not liking it and used something else. Nice score!!
