    Correction - Lookng for older Hoover bags

    Hi - In a previous post, I mention looking for an original bag of a Hoover 850. That was a typo. The model should have been an 800. Sorry for any any disappointments as an 850 would have been a rare bird indeed.

    I'll show you my Regina...

    ....I would guess this suction-only Regina "Crown," boasting its Westinghouse Motor, to be of the 1930's. The bag closure clip states "Patented Oct. 28, 1924." Check out the odd-shaped and rather prominent proboscis.
