Somebody really wanted that. Over $700. Wow.

Howdy There's a lot of restoration information on vacuumland over the years on Hoover coffee can vacuums. They have many differences but the cleanup process is the same. i guess it comes down to cleaning up to be functional and reliable, or make it a museum piece, or.... something in between...

It's like having the name "Smith" Wisconsin has a large population of Norwegians. The name "Knutson" is as common in Oslo, Norway as "Smith" is in the US. Sorry. No Ross in my known relative base.

Don't drop off your vacuums please. If someone wants to dump a vacuum, I ask them to donate it to Goodwill or St Vincent de Paul stores. I regularly visit those stores and sometimes get a call from them about a pile of new vacs. It's hard to pass on a Heritage II with a bunch of tools for...

We have a winner! Yup. The Kirby is immediately recognized. Everyone had some story about a mother, grandmother, aunt, or personal experience having owned one. Most also believed that was a heavy vacuum. I asked them to. lift it and roll on the floor. Those that did were pleasantly...

I am slowly assembling a vacuum collection in my college office. Really interesting - which pieces are noticed, and which are ignored when I have visitors. Wide range of people from my staff, salesmen, peers, and organization leadership. I always tell new visitors that I am a vacuum collector...

Don't forget "letgo" That's pretty useless. EBay is like gambling. If you go in expecting to have a big haul, that's a bad plan. If you set a certain expect a reasonable return on your time and effort, that's probably a bad idea. If you go in with a "it's free money" expectation, that's a...

This wheel may fit a bunch of very old hoovers I usually order odds and ends parts (lawnmower and appliance) through www.repairclinic.com. They have a sort of scale picture of that wheel - showing it to be about 1-3/4 inches in diameter. I wonder what the width is. Coffee can hoovers have...

Two many So...uh...does that mean that the "in the way, one too many" Vacuette may be available? My office needs a vacuette to join the Bissell Grand Rapids and Reeves pump vacuum.

The Vacuette Tom's at the Vacuum museum is pretty cool. It doesn't really matter if it sucks much out of the carpet. It's a unique bridge between plain sweepers and electric vacuums.

Holy socks That thing should have been named the "Mae West". Big cans. Heh.

Okay I'll bite I'm north of Milwaukee, about a half hour from Sheboygan. I might be interested in a couple of those gems.

I learned something today! I had to Google "Jackson Polloch", as I had no idea who he was. Huh. Interesting stuff. Artwork is unique and personal. It's got to be hard to place a value on his work.

Let me rephrase I have a Eureka vacuum that needs to go. I picked it up for free from Tom at the Vacuum museum event. I'm willing to sell it for $175.00. Pick up only. If not sold by Saturday, I will post a video of it being smashed with a sledgehammer. Yup. That should clarify my point.

Seriously? I am confused. You bought a cobbled together head that languished on EBay for $10.00. Now you hold it hostage for $75.00 plus shipping or you will throw it away. Why not offer it for what you have into it or just donate plus the cost of shipping? I do not like to make replies...

It's worth $20 - $25 tops Model 725. Lots of them out there. I bought mine in February for $25. The seller drove more than 50 miles to deliver at that price. That model with the polished coffee can motor and orange stripe are nice looking.

The question is How many Sharks can that buy? I know those are your favorite, Tom.

I remember that vacuum at the event I saw it. I touched it. I passed on it. Yes, I'm referring to the vacuum.

Congratulations Babies are great for the first hour or so. Then they pee, puke, and scream for hours on end. That pretty much wraps up the first day. Seriously, congratulations. I hope things go smoothly.

I thought that it was a joke Then I found "Hoover electric skillet". Neat.
