Lark There was a sort of intermediate version of the Junior which was sold in the US called the lark, originally with the same foot print as the 119 - 12", and later widened to 14". Although manufactured in the UK, it was only sold in the US and Canada. We had to make do with the updated 1224...

119 Even in 1946 the 375 was looking a bit long in the tooth, but it soldiered on until 1950 when it was given a design brush-up to become the 119 - although the US had it as the 115 before we did. by the way, although the 375 was not sold in USA a 115V version was sold in Canada - the 376. I...

375 As we all know, or we should know, the 370 was given a styling makeover by Henry Dreyfus, although I have always been curious as to where the design of the 370 came from. Along with being more in keeping with styling of other models it was also easier to manufacture and to service - service...

The three enemies Even back in the 1930s

1346 Chris, That would be correct :), but I am not done yet LOLOLOLOL

And finally, Page 3 I have always made it clear my belief that Hoover were not market leaders by accident, it was a combination of good product, clever marketing and extensive sales support. Note how though, the concern was not to use the 370 as a basis to trade up to the 450 or 750, but...

You will not have seen this before I recently received this inside another piece of Hoover ephemera I recently bought, showing just how popular the 370 was. its in three parts

1334E The 1334E was something of a hotch-potch of parts - up against the newly restyled 1346 (then denoted as Junior DeLuxe by the way), looked very old fashioned although the main body was the attractive smoke pine/swedish green combo. It did have a grey bag, and i think the old grey style...

More Juniors Actually there are a couple more since these photos were taken

The Stairway of Juniors

Juniors Ok guys, here goes :)

You dont know what tou've got till its gone Can only repeat what others have said above - actually I did not find it down the whole of yesterday, but had intermittent problems. Speaking for myself as an up-graded member, the cost of subscription to Vacuumland and AW is such stonkingly good...

@ Chan55 There are many interesting threads on here about Universal appliances, use the search box in the top right hand corner of the treads listing screen. Don't forget to repeat it in the household section too

Celebrity Lucy that is a late model S3005, if you can post the serial number we may be able to give you a fairly exact date for it. Hopefully the box etc. is reasonably sound as that will help with the value - it should do well Al

New Old Stock Lucy Thanks for the explanation, which does make some sense and I hope you will find that what might have seemed like a hopeless situation is going to turn out to your advantage. Opened in 1952 eh? I wonder what will be in that stock room as you get further back into it LOLOLOL...

Welcome Hi Tim and another welcome to Vacuumland. If it is of any interest to you I have a pink hood suitable for your Senior cleaner. Its a bit scuffed here and there which is not surprising after 50 odd years of use. As far as I can see its not cracked or warped. Its yours for the cost of...

Selling them Put them on ebay like so much of the other stuff you have up there at the moment. The first bags are for Electrolux models 62 & 65. Pictures 2, 3 & 4 are indeed bags for Constellation and portable models as has been noted above Picture 5 are bags for the Hooverette model which...

Bags Sam You should never inflate the bag of a 262 (or 160 or 612) with the handle in the upright position as it puts more stress on the base of the bag, this goes for the "coffee can" models too - if you ever see any older Hoover manuals the handle is always in the intermediate position when...

Dates Sam, It appears that your 119 predates 1953 (where my records begin) however it looks like it is an early model (judging by the number) it would be around 1951 I think - they were making around 200,000 per annum and January 1953 the number is K514400. It appears that the 2944 is a very...
