    Royal Model 131 Restored

    I know which one I'd keep... I wouldn't have to think twice, the 131'd my pick! I think what you should go is trade it for TWO vintage vacuums... (Starts to go through his collection)... Lol

    Look what I picked up today

    Yes, I found it Here in good old Pomona calif. Strange, I found the Electro-Hygeien only a few days earlier. I wonder what I'll come across next!

    Interesting, these are similar to the Apex in that the brush roll rotates in the opposite direction.

    Royal upright model 285

    Bag Well it isn't a shake out bag, it's the type that takes paper bags. The condition is fair, the crown and royal are faded, and there is a repair at the base. It is a little earlier than I've seen before, as the nozzle that you slip the paper bag onto is aluminum and not plastic like most.

    Royal upright model 285

    Yes! It's all making sense to me now. Thank you both Kirby Classic and Ornery. You know, after I posted that thread, I was reading through a few earlier posts, and was thinking that it was an Electro Hygein. So my guess is someone must have put a Royal bag, and belt cover on it... Well now...

    Royal upright model 285

    Hello all! I picked up a Royal today. The model number is 285, could anyone tell me what year this dates to? Also, what would the original rug plate look like on this?

    Olympic or Silverado ?

    Hello RoyalLover60, I know someone that has an Olympia 1. I think it's in good condition, but wouldn't go as far to say fine I'm afraid. When I asked if he had a Silverado, he said no, just a Special, the step down from the Silverado, and that one is in near mint condition. I could take pictures...

    Westinghouse Upright -- Help Needed

    Any updates on this cleaner?

    Rebuild almost anything!!!

    This cleaner doesn't have a brand name on it, just has a star that you see in the picture. The information plate states that it's made by the "Clements Manufacturing Co." So I'm guessing it's a Cadillac rebadge? Oh, and on the bag it says: The Hawk "Makes A Clean Sweep". I thought that was charming.
