My mom and dad put this in a scrap book years ago I am thinking because I took many items apart and most of the time get things put back together and still be in working condition. I would have been about 4 1/2 years old at the date of this comic strip. I am tossing it out things and found it...

These are the only Royals I own. The M1038Z I bought last week looks near new and seems to be in great condition with just a few minor scratches. I had wanted a newer Royal and the orange monster was the right price and condition and yes it is the Chinese model but that is okay. My understanding...

I just picked this up and it seems to be complete and original. The tag that is attached indicated it is from "The Hoover Suction Sweeper". The bag while in poor condition appears to be the original bag. The cord also looks original with the screw-in lamp socket connector. The commutator looks...

I have had this fan for years and years with some old vacuum parts. I believe it may be an early Kirby fan. I sort of looks like I may have written C2 on it. I have never worked on anything older than a Kirby 509 that I recall. It looks Kirby like and it is possible that it was not manufactured...

Hello All, I received this 103 a few days ago. The bag and cord were bad. It runs really well. Thanks for looking Pete

Hello All, If only I were close to Columbia MO, but Los Angeles aint no where close. That little machine just makes me smile. (Craigslist) I hope someone younger would get it and enjoy it. I don't mean anything rude by that. Good luck to all that are looking, Pete

Hello All, This is the last of my Singer vacuum brochures that I have and it is in poor condition. It has some good info on their hand held vacuums. Interesting the the "De Luxe", (which is an odd spelling), model Like R-2D, R-3D and R-4D meant that it was equipped with the cord winder. The 5-R...

Hello All, This is the Singer R-1 brochure which could be of interest to some of the members. A year or so back I was asked if I had a brochure for the R-1 by a member and at the time I had no idea where it was until today. Thank you for looking, Pete

Hello All, Just thought that some of you would find this interesting. I believe the brochure was used for both Singer A-1 and A-2. I had an A-2 a few years back. I think these were designed or built by Sturtevant. Other Members most likely know more about these early Singer vacuums. Thank you...

Hello All, Is it Art, Creative or what? Drat, the cord winder still works. Thank you for looking, Pete

Hello All, I find this Electric Sweeper Vac really interesting as it could switch from straight suction to motor driven brush with suction. I think they were manufactured in around 1919 or early 1920's. The diagram of the Electric Sweeper Vac is from www.vintagehoover.com which shows how it...

Hello All, Well this is a rather interesting item which was sold as an option to the Shake-out cloth bag. I read that it would also fit Hoovers back to 1917 which I guess would be Model N or Model 102. All this I learned for a really old Thread No. 4075 that portable Posted 07-16-2008 titled...

Is a Hoover Convertible a Hoover Convertible when the brushroll does not have Beater Bars? I have had 3 Hoover RS Convertible Models U4597 and I sold one a few months back. I did not paint the brushroll I did not notice there were no Beater Bars on the brushroll until today when I looked at...

Hello All, Two interesting items on eBay eBay Item No. 232601263981 Vintage Interstate Magic Disc Push Sweeper Vacuum Attachment - It is just a really odd and an interesting item eBay Item No. 192360510588 Modern Hygiene Vacuum - Looks to be in nice condition Could be of interest for someone out...

Hello All I did bid on and won the poor little, not so little, Hoover Model 28 “Special” that was on eBay a few weeks back. I have no idea what draws me or anyone to a Hoover 28. I went from having none for 30 plus years to having 3 in this year and a Hoover Model 305 which unfortunately I need...

Hello All, May sound odd but I seem to remember buying a red upright Dirt Devil and a red hand held Dirt Devil in the mid or late 70's. I do not remember it that well and I cannot say that the hose was attached to the vacuum. Does anyone have a picture of the first Dirt Devil upright that they...

Hello All, Well I could not pass this little Montgomery Ward hand held vacuum up. I don't think I have seen one like it before. It runs great and really has a lot of power. The bag is in good shape. I think it is older than the Montgomery Ward/Eureka upright I got a week ago. I don't have a clue...

Hello All, I have received a Montgomery Ward Model 74SP437A Vacuum. I know they were manufactured by Eureka but I have never seen one like this MW. To release the handle, you push down and to lower it all the way down you must push downward on the machine again. Putting the handle up from the...

Hello All and Hoover lovers, Hoover Convertible is it Junk? There are 15 pictures for you to look at and decide if it is junk. The Fan #38755010 is not repairable as it has nail holes, new fan cost $14.00. Fan casing has holes and could be repaired with JB Weld or similar. The motor base plate...

Hello All and Kirby Experts, Okay in the 70’s and early 80’s I worked for a shop. I do not remember working on anything newer than a Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80. Back then the big thing for all the older Kirbys was putting on the wide wheels for shag carpeting, front bearings and leaking bags. So...
