Tellus Gareth I thought you might like these pictures, of the instructions. They were copied of an ebay auction a while back, so sorry they are not bigger

Gareth Congratulations on these new finds - and there was me thinking your wife did not approve of your collection :) (Not really, its just the impression from the TV program) This ad is currently up on ebay UK, that unit is indeed a blower. I wish the ad was a bit clearer so I could see the...

Universal A good place to start would be to use the search boxes on the top right of the screen. Vacuumland member "CreviceTool" has posted many informative threads on Universal appliances - the custom google search on all forums might be best as his threads cover other appliances apart from...

Dirtsearcher The Junior series of cleaners was not made in America at all but in the UK. As far as I am aware the Dirtsearcher version was not sold in the US, just the standard version with no lamp, first as the 1340 (the earlier version) and the later, more streamlined 1348 which has the...

English Rose Cooker (I think this was manufactured by Revo). I have memories of seeing a gas version of this cooker as well

English Rose As you have already found out, English Rose was produced by a former air craft factory after WW2. I don't know the exact date when production started but the earliest reference I have seen for them is in a 1950 edition of Ideal Home, in a new house layout, which co-incidentally...

Lincoln Is a variation of the Electrolux 152/160/170 (which was a hard bag), these are still on sale, someone posted a link to one just recently

Trojan Also sold in the latter half of the 1920s, if not before

Heater Dave I posted some more stuff over on AW, but a couple of comments for here Benny is right on the money for 1971 being the change over, although I think the two colour schemes may have run in tandem for a while. 13amp sockets started around 1950 or so, so it could have been either 13...

Luxes Gareth, Nice selection of luxes you have there, could you show us some more of the three on the left of the 55 please. And also the one on the right of the 310, is that an Electrolux too? Al

Nothing strange about it at all Or new about it either. This design of cleaner has been around a LONG time although it seems to have had some cosmetic updates. It was first sold in the UK in the mid 1960s as the (hard bag) Electrolux 152, later 160 and 170, until the early 1980s. Although only...

Age I have a feature from Good Housekeeping in 1928 in which this cleaner is included, so certainly late 1920s Al

Shaun of The Dead TASE Very well spotted, its a UK Convertible (actually a senior) so its most likely green or blue. You can tell its UK as the cable clips are of the left standing at the back of the cleaner rather than the right Al

Photo Could you kindly post a Photo please, then we may be able to tell you more about it as there was a model 30 (XXX actually) in America and a different one in Europe although the Z denomination indicates European origin. Upload photos by using the feature "Upload JPEG Format Picture to...

Dates 1934-1935

Box Sam The box you have is for a 375, probably pre-WW2. Hoover119dude's box is the correct one for the 119, which is in keeping with the early 1950s style. You just have to get a 375 now LOLOLOLOL Al

MR Benny The Easimix is a model close to my heart as my mother had one of these, indeed I still have it, and she loved it, even more than the Kenwood Chef that she got several years later. There were two versions (although very similar) - the first with the full grill on the front, which had...
