Does anyone know the year of the featured Westinghouse vacuum of the day? Looks 50's to me. $125 was expensive. VERY cooool vacuum.

519 I have my Grandmother's all original 519 and the box, logo, red plastic blower are the same. The coupler is metal. My attachment box sadly is water stained from a hot water heater that leaked. :(

THANKS It really makes it easier! Thank you for all of your hard work!

EBay Hi! Good luck on your search. Besides Craigslist check your local papers for garage and Estate Sales. I have also picked up quite a few vacuums on garbage day. Never let a $8 Hoover [or ANY vacuum for $8] slip by again. The shame of it! They can make great parts vacuums.

Absolutly Beautiful! WOW!!! A true work of art! It belongs on a pedestal!

EBay There is currently a Dustette on EBay

Easy to find I have one of these FANTASTIC original uprights. Replacement bags for these are easy to find. just google style UR or old Electrolux upright. Happy vacuuming!

Thanks! Electrolux137: Thanks for the heads up. When the XXX arrives I will research it. Maybe the owners updated the vacuum. Kevin: I will post a pic if I can even find one. I have a new laptop and I am "computer challenged" It is the same "green' as the Hoover Constellation Model 87

I was stalking, err make that browsing the vintage vacuum cleaners on EBay. Something came over me and I "slipped" and made an offer and it was accepted. I am now the proud owner of a Lewyt model 66. Some other interesting items. A Blue Hoover Lark. Nice rug nozzle. I have purchased...

Reminds me of ME Bentley is adorable. My Mother used to have me use the Model L with just one tube. I agree, you are smart to keep your mouth shut. I know, from experience that you can not MAKE someone enjoy football. Good Luck to Ian!

THANKS!! Thanks to rugsucker, Al, and John for all of you help. VERY much appreciated Eric

rugsucker Thanks! The Hoover is green and it does have the switch on the handle. The 87 was only produced in 1959. It seems quite a few people got a good shock from touching the opening at the canister. I am sure that I can fix it. I was researching the Connie before I bought it. Geeze...

EBay Check out EBay. In the past month I purchased seven Hoovers. They are: 2 DAM's, a Constellation Model 87,2 Portables, a Model 61, and a Convertible model 584. I personally have had good luck with EBay. Good Luck!! Happy Hunting!!

I just purchased a nice 1959 Hoover Constellation Model 87. My question is: What is the proper color of the attachments? Is it the white or tan color. Is the rug nozzle the older shaped or does this Connie have the "new" streamlined type? If I could ever figure out my new laptop I will post...

Turn the vacuum over I have a beautiful restored Model 61. Model 61 was manufactured from August 17, 1946 up to January 5, 1950. Serial numbers ran from 1,300,001 up to 1,687,860 Total sold was 383,972 This was the Cadillac of Hoovers. Starting price [without attachments] was $95.00 The...

Congrats! I was also watching this beautiful Hoover on EBay. So glad that you got it! I am waiting for my Hoover Model 61 to be delivered from EBay. Happy Hoovering!

check for date I have two Portables. Check under the hood by the latch. Hoover stamped dates on quite a few of them. I was hunting on EBay for bags and one person was selling a "well used" one BUT with six packages of NOS Hoover J bags with it! I now have a "spare" portable, and six packages...

I just purchased a red Dial a Matic. I had to have it as I also have the 1965 red Hoover Portable. I need a set of attachments for the Dial a Matic. The hose and attachments should be white, but I won't be picky. The hose from the Hoover Portapower will also fit the Dial a Matic. Side note: I...

Nice collection. I have a Kirby 519 and a Heritage Legend 2. I also have the gold Heavy Duty Electrolux upright I saw in your picture.

Check to see if it would be compatible with a belt from Sears Kenmore twin fan
