On December 9th, it will be Stan Kann's 100th birthday (in heaven - he left us in 2008). Here he is in his vacuum bag suit when we were at Hoover the first time. In his honor, run a Hoover today! We miss you, Stan.

Here are scans of 3 Eureka Sweet Sixteen canister spec sheets, for Models 1640, 1660 and 1680 (front and back). First up: Model 1640 (dig the 70s costume get-ups):

I have a friend who has a Royal straight suction upright, Model 1948. It has the usual black/red bag design and belt port at the front. Does anyone have any idea what years this vacuum might have been made? Sorry, no picture. I'm guessing sometime in the 20s or 30s. Would anyone know? Thanks in...

This beautiful Model 66 Convertible came from Glenn Dienst's collection. Acquired by Sean Curry and offered to me, I feel honored to add it to my collection. This is one of my favorite Hoover Convertible colors.

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;">Really? REALLY?? Let's see: no hose, no attachments, large dent on one side, very rusty, questionable cord...and $999. Yep, here's my dough, I'll take two!</span>...

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">It must be the week for Hoover Model 29. One of these has been on eBay forever, the other one showed up not that long ago. So, if you bought both of them, you would've spent several hundred dollars and STILL had weeks of restoral work ahead of you (and not...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This booklet, produced at about the time of the Model 541 Hoover, is a very rare item. This is only the 2nd time I have seen it for sale. I have one, and I cherish it. This would make a fine addition to a serious collector's paper...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The "floor" on this one is $320. One hour left to go, with 18 bids in. This is going to be interesting. Jimmy Martin stands to make a mint on this one. This machine style has always fascinated me. Good luck to whoever gets it. I...

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I have an old Hoover Convertible (the Agnes Moorehead model) that I bought used in a thrift store 3 years ago. It had been modified with a newer long cord and a Type A topfill bag assembly. I use this vacuum only...

<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: verdana, geneva;">Replacement bag, rust near the attachment port underneath, otherwise somewhat nice, but NOT for that price.</span>   http://www.ebay.com/itm/231135228572

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">Well, it's nice and all that, not in exceptional shape, has a replacement bag and some rust. Do you think it will fetch that price? Another eBayer with visions of grandeur??</span>...

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">It seems to be getting harder to find belts for older Hoovers (by older, I now mean those machines that are older than 30 years). </span> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;"> </span> <span...

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">I forgot that I had this copied page from the 1932 Electrical Merchandising Magazine. I did not realize the the Electric Broom Corporation existed on its own. I guess they were eventually gobbled up by Regina Corporation. According to...
