Were the dump bag and maybe a longer cord the only differences from a regular convertible?

I've noticed a couple of Russian made vacuums on eBay that look like the above brands. Anyone know any back story on these machines?

I was lucky enough this year to attend the convention in Spokane. Our gracious host Marc Turbyfill gave me a NOS Kirby bag for my 505.. one of the machines I grew up with. His generosity overwhelmed me! I've had the machine for a few years and my friends at a local vac shop buffed it and...

First, I do not know this seller but ran across this and thought I'd share. It looks to be in nice shape considering the age, and looks to be all original. The hose would be an easy fix. I have one already or I'd be bidding on it...

OMG, Eureka has jumped on the bandwagon with their version. http://https//www.amazon.com/dp/B07B6FC3TZ?ref=dacx_dp_6233715910001_7164636130401&me=ATVPDKIKX0DER&aaxitk=le4xRT.yRZ7VIeEdhHf78A

This was so cute I had to share it! I gave a girl friend of mine from work an Olympia one because she didn't own a canister vacuum, and she absolutely loves it. She doesn't know how she did without one. Her youngest daughter Jersey absolutely loves it too. She's become a little vacuum Maiden!

I saw this and should be in the hands of a collector. These are great little machines, and it's complete. I would re-do the cord setup, mine wasn't like that. I bought one of these used for my Mom and she loved it, and bags/filters are still available. I don't know or am I affiliated with the...

Really? I'd love to know the back story on this. http://https//www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-New-Kirby-510-With-Attachments-Box-and-New-Sweet-Aire-NIB/323112839432?hash=item4b3b06a908:g:QmQAAOSwO8pami~h

Went to my friends vacuum shop for lunch today, and she showed me this vacuum that has no suction with a fresh bag, vacuum runs smooth on all speed settings. This lady is brilliant with repairs but she cannot figure it out. Anybody have any ideas?

I was going to do some heavy duty cleaning today and wanted to use one vacuum(out of probably 150), to do everything from the carpeting, to cobwebs and vacuuming ceilings. I got out my 1988 Kenmore 4.5 canister which had been serviced probably over a year ago, and stored in a closet. I bought...

Check this out..sounds like a scam to me, seller has no transactions and free shipping from China? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Kirby-Heritage-II-Vacuum-Cleaner-NOS-2-HD-/112092246224?hash=item1a1937f0d0:g:~L4AAOSw9NdXreZ2

I have been salivating over this offering since it appeared. I have never seen one of these in print or in real life. I don't know the seller, but wanted to share this with those who don't usually peruse ebay. It looks like it was put in a closet and never used...

I know over the years Landers Frary and Clark made vacuums badged under various names, but this is the first time I've ever seen one under their own name. Even the paperwork says Universal, which I knew were made by them. Is this an oddity? Maybe one of our historians might be able to shed some...

Is this the first model with the Rainbow name? It looks to be in exceptional shape, though short of being complete with everything. http://www.ebay.com/itm/112016527503?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I wish I had the deep pockets for this.....such a thing of beauty! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1958-Hoover-Golden-Anniversary-Promotional-Upright-Rare-Vintage-Vacuum-/112015685337?hash=item1a14a7b6d9:g:44oAAOSwOVpXUKqx

This is a really nice example of a USA made Windtunnel, very clean. Where were the Farrington models sold, I seem to think it might have been Home Depot? These are hard to beat for carpet cleaning. http://www.ebay.com/itm/322104630196?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

This is a really nice specimen of the first non-headlight Hoover Convertible, and appears all original. The seller is a fellow collector friend of mine, and when he puts a vacuum out there for sale, it's a good one! This began about a 20yr. run of wonderful Hoovers...

If I wasn't already Kenmored out, I'd be after this one! http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-KENMORE-POWERMATE-VACUUM-BABY-BLUE-COMPLETE-ORIGINAL-BOX-AND-PAPERS-/222076574501?hash=item33b4cb9b25:g:phUAAOSwfl9XBIWr

I have ever only seen this model as an Empress, not a Cordaway. I'm assuming since it has the later logo, was this after the Empress? Could this be a Canadian model maybe? Inquiring mind needs to know...

I saw one of these in person, complete, for sale at one of our conventions a few years back. I was thinking about buying it, but another collector who always was kind enough to take pictures at our conventions wanted it, so I passed on it. Hey Edgar(human)...here it is, but sadly, the machine...
