I've been packing up lots of stuff in there, in anticipation of the renovations. I definitely MUST sell/ give some things away. The small appliances are easily going into labeled boxes. Tools are easily fitting in trash bags, until later. Boxes of belts, etc. It's good to " put a dent" in some...

I was in Walmart, yesterday. There are virtually NO genuine Hoover bags, and, hardly any vacuums, either. I've noticed, however, that any Hoover solutions, etc, all say, Royal Mfg Co. It seems, they still say the Royal CO. Where, Hoover, of course, is really no longer a Company, rather a brand...

Here are some cleaners awaiting boxes. Guess???

A good friend was in the market for a new carpet washer. FROM Walmart, he called. "I figured you'd know which to but". He listed a Bissell, Shark, and a Hoover. I said, "You had to ASK"? He did buy the new Hoover carpet washer. I've heard good things. I'm sure he'll tell me...

50 years ago, today, I purchased my prized 1076. I still have the paperwork,etc. I'll post pics, later. It was a clearance at Jewelcor: $59.00...$63.00 with tax. It's been serviced by the late Gnall Jones of Wilkes-Barre, PA, and, later, in Scranton. Still looks and runs like it did in 1975...

Have a great time... all who are venturing to Chicago this week. I'm sure a lot will be happening. There will also be a lot of vintage cleaners on display, etc. Wish I were going, but, just couldn't do it this year. Enjoy.. and, post !!

Did everyone see the U4335 green plastic base Convertible on ebay?  NO cord...hefty price.  I have 2 of that model WITH the light. I thought it  would be fun to have the 2.. a set, if you will. But......................  looks like it was a rescue.   

in anticipation of "Greg".. carpenter, to begin the gallery. I very well may sell some of it ,as things approach.  I've discovered many 'multiples'  of things.  Some, I'm glad about. Others, can go on to new homes. For instance, I discovered TWO 'beehive' blenders, 2 or 3 waffle bakers, etc...

My aunt's cleaning lady y, "Lorraine", has a hard time with the 26 year old Hoover Elire. She's hinting about a shark. So,this a.m., we went to a dept store, who had this Hoover on sale. I wonder how long before something happens. It's nice. ... lots a buttons to press. The only Hoover things...

There is a vintage Hoover "Connie" on ebay right now. It's photographed with an ELECTROLUX floor nozzle. Talk about it coming with 'extras'.  Yikes!   I called Tom (Anderson, of course) right away.  He may have needed  lie down, perhaps take some medication. lolololol  I'd love to ask, "What...

I've not posted anything in a long while.  I've been going through some 'stuff'... not very good, either.  But.... it's time to start attacking the palace for the holidays.    I'm selecting an 'array' of vintage Hoovers to get the job done. Then.... decorate, etc.  Photos will arrive...

I was wondering,  are the serial numbers on Singer vacuums read the same as Hoovers?  For instance, how would I read them?  I'm trying to figure some out .  My aunt taught for Singer, and always had a S Vac...until she got her Hoover 1076! Any info?  Many thanks.

Today marks the birthday of the great vacuum company that once graced Maple Street in N Canton, Ohio.   08-08-08, Hoover's 100, was my first VCCC convention.   Memories.
