    Early Kenmore Deluxe

    Nice bag I really got lucky with this one. The bag is in wonderful condition with no holes or dry rot. This bag should wash up nicely and hopefully bring back some of the color.

    Early Kenmore Deluxe

    Thanks Jeff, Thanks so much for taking the time to do that I do appreciate it. I'll make note of it for my records. I thought the Kenmore Imperial and Automatic came out in 1935. This looked to be an older model to me so that is all good to know thanks again Jeff. Jim

    Early Kenmore Deluxe

    I'm not sure What to think about the finish on this old Kenmore. In the seller's picture #1 the finish doesn't look as dark as my pictures. The finish in picture #2 and #3 you can see on the sides of the motor housing, handle fork, and nozzle the aluminum showing. The grey coloring is only on...

    Early Kenmore Deluxe

    It's been a good day I decided to get started on this old Kenmore today. I cleaned all of this in my kitchen sink with soap and water some steel wool, and a little elbow grease. I haven't done any sanding or polishing yet. I am very pleased with the overall condition of this Kenmore. The...

    Early Airway?

    That would be great! Tom, Thanks that would be great. I hope we do meet some day. I would love to see the museum and have the opportunity to meet you. I have an original Air-Way paper bag in my Green Goddess, but not my 1929 Air-Way. I used a hoover type C bag that works well. Jim

    My Kirby 509

    washing I have washed these bags with success, but it depends on the overall condition of the bag. If it's to fragile or rotting out, I would shy away from it. If it's still in good condition I gently hand wash the bags and hang to dry. I turn it inside out and use a garden hose outside to...

    Early Airway?

    huskyvacs, That is a replacement switch. It looks like the original switch bracket is there at the top cord hook. It just so happens that I have an extra original switch with the bracket that I would be more than happy to send you. also the cord should be all cloth as well. Picture 2 is my 1929...
