I saw this Ebay listing, which might interest history buffs and non-electric collectors alike. According to Alex Taber's comments on Vintage post#23637, this is the 2nd oldest vacuum cleaner in existence; and the very first tank pumper!

Evidence to back that up Nearly all of the vacuums for sale at the Goodwill stores are Dysons or Dirt Devils. Tons of RoboVacs and Roombas. Its very rare to see a Kirby or Electrolux or vintage Hoover. Gee, I wonder why? Its certainly not that these beasts are scarce according to Ebay.

This one's in the U.K. Dirt cheap. Just pay very reasonable shipping charges.

Did you see the Spec. Ed. on Ebay? Hi Levi, I ran across this Special Edition canister vac on sale for $250.00 (they're not giving them away).

Pricey option Hi kirbyds80 I came across this posting on Offer Up. You might get this one and have a "best of both" Eureka ESP when your done swapping out parts. (I don't know if there's much difference between the "B" and the "D" model)

Hey there, human I was just watching a video called "Changing a belt on an Electrolux upright vacuum" (it was a Discovery II) on YouTube. The powerhead cover was fitted right before he takes it off to change the belt. But the cover didn't go on right at the end of the video. I think you just...

Don't mind the price. But, shipping that 5,000 miles to Hawaii kills it for me

Nice machine If there's any other Vacuumlanders interested let me know via email so I don't bid against you.

Sorry folks, your vacuum collections can hardly be called "complete" until you get one of these babies! It even comes with an interchangeable head.

Got an idea Hi Axell, Hoover.com has some replacement wheels in stock, but they don't mention its specs. If you want to measure diameter, put popsicle sticks on the top and bottom of the round part. Make sure the sticks are parallel, then measure the gap between the sticks. You may need to...

That's so cool! But, I'm surprised people had money for such luxuries during the Depression.

Came across this Ebay listing (active now). My guess, this is either a salesman's sample or a prototype.

Glad to help Hey dysonman1, whether you mean an extra Domestic Cyclone or an extra Vac-u-ette, I can give it a good home here. Maybe start my own museum!?

Hey suckolux Its sounds like your friend could benefit from a Central Vac system (and Molly Maids to use it for her). lol

Fellow enthusiast You guys MUST be familiar with the website (theelectroluxman.com) He restores/rebuilds anything Electrolux. Great source for new old stock parts and accessories, too!

Thanx for your expertise Dysonman1 I wasn't "sucked in" to his efforts to haggle. Though I am into collecting non-electrics at the moment. Just a basic starter set: a Feeny plunger vac; a Superior sweeper vac; a Doty upright; and, a Bissel Standard carpet sweeper. Always on the lookout for a...

Came across this listing on iOffer.com for a piece of history for sale. He wants 12-times my offer. But, he'll throw in free shipping.

"Eye of the beholder" Sounds like you got a great deal! A thing's intrinsic worth is based largely on what the highest bidder is willing to pay. I wonder what Jackson Pollock's dropcloth would go for !?

Any takers? The listing is from May but it may still be active.

There's a somewhat recent write-up on the Museum of Clean in Pocatello. It shows 16 photos of displays and individual vacuums in the museum. http://cnet.com/pictures/crazy-cool-vintage-vacuum-cleaners
