Well, it seems your brain is still working pretty dog gone good to perceive this one, I wouldn't be worrying so much if I was you. Stay healthy my friend!

Well, good for you. ...and P.S. I was enjoying it![this post was last edited: 10/4/2016-12:34]

In regards to reply #23, it makes me want to smoke Virginia Slims all the way down to the burnt, carbonized filter...Yummy!!! Thanks so much for making this " Thread " relevant and worthy of responding to!

Well, you can always become famous just before you spin off this mortal coil, and they will most likely turn your house into some kind of shrine of sorts and sell tickets to see all your junk that you horded before that great, big whirly bird in the sky hauled you off to the dead house to cool...

I'm sorry, I thought you meant The Wireless Vac-u-ette!

Alex, that sounds like a real treasure trove of unique material you came across! Those rare advisements would make a truly great " Thread!" But I would still very much imagine that on passenger liners of that era, the crew would have had the availability of a few pumpers or like manner on...

 Alex, is it true that they had the Star on the Titanic? I do believe I've heard that somewhere before, but I can't remember for the life of me. Many thanks as always!!   PS. That was absolutely a fantastically rare poster!!! Thank you for providing it for us!!! 

...The Ghost Busters!

I like to call this one the little window peepshow. There's nothin' which smells any better than a fine, vintage piece of equipment. Well, with the exception of just one other thing that is.  

Bingo!!! Give CharlesKirby66 a cigar...Your the MAN and part of the VCCC intelligentsia, highbrow elites!!! Yes, this "Thread " is rich with metaphors, figures of speech, and so forth and so on just as its title suggests. Now, perhaps, we can have a little exercise in allegories and...

I can see how that could be construed that way, but for me it takes a fine geriatric Kirby to get the old torpedo racing! 

s31463221, I couldn't agree with you more! Alex as well as the interviewer preformed a masterful job in articulating the subject matter. It was done very tastefully and respectfully and, indeed, the article presented itself with a whole lot of class.  I don't believe anybody could've done a...

Well done, Alex! http://vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com

Perhaps, a funeral fire is in order? Indeed, that should take care of its vile nastiness. Whatever you decide, as always, Best of Luck

You see, Alex,  you just proved my point again! Your not only an avid collector and VCCC cofounder, your an historian!  You know the machines and there history better than just about anyone I know. And there's a lot on here which knows a great deal, and that's saying something!

Well, Alex, I have read a great many of your posts and they have always been quite informative. You just don't know about the machines, you know about their history also, and if someone is earnestly seeking information, your always there with the right answer. What you've done is combined your...

Nigel, I'll assure you that you'll find no greater encyclopedia of vintage vacuum cleaner information in all of the vast, wide, wide world then that of the before mentioned Mr. Alex Taber. If vacuum cleaner wisdom you seek, you came to the right place!  

...Ouch Sailor!

Great story, Alex! Many thanks again for reposting it!

It looks like MJ needs to be posting some photos...like real soon, you big winner you!
