    New Collector and a Kirby Heritage Question

    Kirby Heritage 1 for Sale Hi Andrew, what a coincidence. I saw your beautiful Heritage 1 and emailed you about shipping. Great looking machine and well cared for. I am hoping I can afford it as I have a few pressing financial considerations at the moment Cheers, Doug E.

    Current Production Royal Metal Question

    Many thanks for the comments. I was afraid it would be too good to be true that the new Royals were made in the USA. I was not able to check the manufacturer's label on that new Everlast to see where it was actually built. Still, that vacuum inspired me to look into collecting a few vacs...

    New Collector wishing to say hello!

    Thanks for the kind words! I love the TriStar as well, and they have that classic look that changed little over the years. Unfortunately, if you want a new one, they are ridiculously expensive, but it is not too hard to find a good used one for not too much. I am just waiting for TTI to...

    New Collector wishing to say hello!

    I sort of stumbled upon this site recently after not really giving much thought to collecting vacuums, even though I have loved vintage electrical appliances since I was a small child, and have a bad habit of collecting nearly anything old and electrical or mechanical. My actual job is in...
