This is from a listing on Craigslist St. Louis area. Call or text 314-504-6848. It was posted 1/14.

This is an excerpt from a book by that name. It explains some of the earliest history of the Vacuum Cleaner Business in the U.S.

I don't know if this posting belongs in Vintage; Contemporary; Household; or, Supermarket, but its available from Craigslist Detroit area:

I know "For Sale" stuff goes in Marketplace. But Vintage seemed a more appropriate place to bring this to the experts attention. What's unusual is the shape of the dust bucket to which the nozzle is attached. Every other Feeny I've seen has a dust bucket shaped like a coffee can on top of a...

This Penny/Connie keeps surfacing on craigslist if anyone's interested. Not complete with tools, but its a good unit to start with. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/atq/d/hoover-floating-sweeper-vacuum/6398084131.html

Spotted this for sale on Ebay. Pick-up only (L.A.), but very nice and nicely equipped. $99.00 to open bidding.

That's the name of my newest venture on Etsy.com I'm not so much trolling for business, as letting everyone know that they can order screen shots from me of virtually any Sears catalog 1896 thru 1993. I'll post the link to my site for anyone interested. But, what would a sales pitch be without...

And Success has come to my door! Just a few pix inside and out of the Super Rare Success Canister. (the last one shows the accordion bellows typical of Success uprights). Its operated by the wheels turning a crank-type axle, whose piston rod works the bellows.

An interesting look through the patents revealed the John Stamm 1913 filing for his version The written description explains its mechanism and operation. Its a very cool concept. I'd like to find one

No doubt everyone's seen the non-electric bellows vac called the Success. More accurately the Success Upright. (see photo #1) But, I was surprised to learn there's also a Success Canister. (see photos #2,3,4,5)

Some here may already be aware of this site. Its a fascinating place to spend time. http://vintageadbrowser.com

This is the only photo archive of the copious Bissell Sweeper collection they were given in 1990 Bvac6 may be interested in the Old No. 8

Everybody got theirs yet?

I'm thinkin' this is a WTF 2000. Anyone else have a clue?

According to research, this is probably the oldest electric handheld vacuum cleaner made (c. 1916-17) It pre-dates the Premier Spic & Span by 11 or 12 years. Check out the patent and you'll see what it was originally developed for.

I ran across this on craigslist. Its a G.E. upright with what appears to be the New York City skyline in its logo. 1940's maybe?

New Miele Model? COOL!

I saw this Ebay listing, which might interest history buffs and non-electric collectors alike. According to Alex Taber's comments on Vintage post#23637, this is the 2nd oldest vacuum cleaner in existence; and the very first tank pumper!

This one's in the U.K. Dirt cheap. Just pay very reasonable shipping charges.
