My Darling Clementine Whilst The Caissons Go Rolling Along version seems to have been the most common song, there are also lyrics to My Darling Clementine - there is a clip of it in The Secret Life of the Vacuum Cleaner - this may be British as I believe they are using Hoover 160s Al

Stairway of cleaners Rob Surreal was not quite the adjective I would have used but it certainly was a different way to pass a Christmas. And it is a happy accident that our two collections are reasonably complimentary - although that is probably more a reflection of our respective ages than...

Junior Deluxe Although they look somewhat like the Dial A Matic, it is completely different as it is a dirty fan rather than clean fan cleaner. Its hard to define quite how this cleaner came about as the model was relatively short lived. made in France it was first introduced in around 1973 as...

Studio Thank you for the comments :) Tom, thank you for the Roll Easy, a machine I have wanted since I visited AeolianDave back in 2010. I wonder is this the only example in the UK? Gary, the machine in question is branded in the UK as a Remocco, but I believe it to be a Dutch machine by...

A close up I should have posted this earlier, its a close up of the German and American machines. I am so pleased that after 14 years collecting a have a proper display space to appreciate these cleaners that will be easy to share with others. There still needs to be a little work done to...

And finally Electrolux I must confess I am a little bit proud of this lot

Down the middle Are some uprights - this area needs a little more work so I can fit in some more uprights - as it is all my Hoover Junior & Senior models will have to go to the loft - I may make a display area up there too after seeing the example of Anthony's loft posted a few weeks ago...

And on top A selection of Connies

And to the right of that The upper shelves are for hand vacuums which I have not had a chance to sort out yet, the third shelf are Pheonix machines and fourth and fifth Bylock - a number of the early Bylock machines are Apex copies.

Facing them On the opposite wall are Goblins on the left hand rack except the blue one at the top (Hotpoint) and the bottom shelf which are various makes, Siroma, CWS/Dudley & an East German Hollandia on the right of the shelf. On the floor are more boxed cleaners, this time wooden boxes...

And to the right Are mainly the Hoovers - Portable and Compact models on the top shelf, Sensortronics on the second, Conquest & Harlequins (419 & 429)on the third and Freedoms and Cylinder models (417 & 427) on the fourth. There is also a blue 427 in amongst the "in box" cleaners. The...

Some Facebook members may have already seen some versions of these pictures posted there by ChesterMike (with my permission). Firstly I must express my grateful thanks to Mike, Rob & Paul and Jack & Jon for their assistance in getting the room set up and loading and unloading the cleaners...

Sorry if I am a bit late to the game here as I am not that interested in contemporary vacuums. But this grabbed my attention this week as it looks, at least superficially, like a 1950s design updated. Of course I did not realise till I saw the video that it was a Vax so is it a Hoover in the...

Date For a 1036 it would have to be 1970s, so I am reckoning August 1979 Al

And dont forget The goblin 701 you got lurking in there as well :) Nice collection there, will be doing something similar there myself. Love the record players too :) I have a similar Hacker myself On a slightly different note, what sort of insulation have you got there please as that's...

Date Looks to me that it was built in January 1973 652 Model 3 Year (it must be 1970s) 01 Month 18721 Sequence number

6525 Your Hoover will be from the late 1960s until mid 1970s and will probably be model 6525c or 6525e. If you can post the serial number of the cleaner we should be able to give you an exact date - it is just possible that the cleaner was bought new to go with a new house. Although it may...

French Portable John You might be interested to know that European Portables (well the later ones at least) were manufactured in France Al

Connies in the UK The Constellation was actually launched here in 1956, they had their own production facility (at that time at least) in Park Royal - a largely industrial district about 5 or 6 miles from Perivale. The floating version was launched in 1958. Al
