Here's my Eaton's Viking (Eureka)

Nice find !! I bet everyone knows that feeling, I sure do, of seeing something in the distance and hoping and praying it is what you think it is.. Looks like a nice store too... but I can't quite see the red West Bend electric wok. There's gotta be one in there.. has to be, it's thrift store law.

I never noticed the S on the end of the name before, good question. That one is in particularly bad condition. I wouldn't have bought it either.. They show up quite often. I had one years ago that looked like it had just come out of the factory

I think Miele had something somewhat similar years ago though I can't remember the name of it to look up.. Someone will know.

Neat, It reminds me of the old GE electric carpet sweeper and the battery B&D one. I did look it up online and a guy has a youtube video posted.. It seems rather noisy though.. That would be a turn off for me although it's very tempting, can't stand noise.

I've always liked those Metro vacs... very retro looking and the chrome canister is really sharp. Too bad they don't have more of a presence in stores, made in America and all. I have a small metro commercial Vac'n Blo (hold the giggles) with the shoulder strap and a carry handle. Its great for...

gave up on mine because the long dog hair would get wound up in the wheel axles rendering it pretty much useless at our house.

The constant banging on my feet and legs because of the short hose was very annoying the one time I used mine.. so back in its box it went. Otherwise it's a decent vac,

Can you slide Pittson a little closer west towards Lk Huron ?

Mine was the same green color but the same design as the blue one above only self propelled. I bought it new on clearance from Sears, can't remember the year but late 70's. I bought the attachment set for it but the suction was so weak thru the hose that I returned the set and bought the little...

Looking at the pictures again I don't see the speed switch on the back so it's probably not the self propelled version (which also said Power Ease on the front of the handle. As well, to attach the bags to the machine there's a bag holder clip that you first attach to the cardboard collar of...

It's a Kenmore Duo Power upright. I can't tell from the pic if it's the self-propelled model or not. Anyways,, grab it. They're getting very scarce. They were made by Singer/Ryobi if I'm not mistaken, I've forgotten for the moment,someone will correct me. , Matsushita then bought them out...

I've got numerous of them. I just like them for whatever reason, even though they're not the greatest vacuum but they do a good job on low/med carpet, they're relatively quiet and certainly easy to use.

Looking good... one of these days I'll make the drive down that away

Kenmore flower power uprights Used to be a lot of these around in blues, greens and browns

Sears was Sears-Roebuck in the US. They came to Canada in 1955 and formed a partnership with the Canadian dept store chain Simpsons. Simpsons at the time were only located in a few bigger cities in Ontario and Quebec and primarily were big flagship downtown stores. The then new Simpson-Sears...

I have a factory rebuilt model G with the metal tag affixed. I love it. Both it and my model 89 are the two most used vacs in the house. Both are quiet and they roll around on the hard floors effortlessly. Plus bag changing is a snap. You can't get much easier.

I wouldn't say it's rare yet. I bought one when new and wasn't impressed because it tended to scatter sand and grit while vacuuming the stairs more than it sucked up. You could feel the stuff hitting your arms and face and I stopped using it. . Plus for some reason dog hair really stuck to...

Name the place, date and time.. I think pretty much everyones not more than say 90 minutes away or less from anyone else.

It must be wonderful to go to work everyday to a job you love. I liked my job for most but the final few years where I hated it but I never loved it. re the antique wooden bellows sweepers. I have an immaculate Pneu-Vac and I've noticed others on Ebay much like it or maybe identical exept in...
