Just received the VCCC's most recent Newsletter and it was a treat to 'thumb through' and enjoy. Many thanks to Editor John Long and Assistant/arranger Kim Jo. As my Dad would say in his best Brooklyn accent, "YOU DONE GOOD!" Thank you both. RBinOC!

Compliments of Mr Winkler! Can't say much about her vacuuming skills, however. Quoting, "To tell the truth, I could have done better." Enjoy! RB[this post was last edited: 8/31/2012-00:22]

And it includes FREE SHIPPING. Run, don't walk!! Far be it for me to judge, but this strikes me as a TAD expensive. RB http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Genuine-Antique-Rare-Electrolux-Vacuum-Upholstery-Tool-Dust-Brush-Combo-/300651262654?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item46003632be

No, no, not THAT one. THIS>>>>>>>> (see link below) I will be the one wishing the seller really good luck in selling this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Generic-Electrolux-Electric-Hose-OLD-STYLE-Pistol-Gri-/150629115836?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item231231e7bc

"See pictures of the vacuum blower - too hard to get a picture of the suction." (This was literally taken from an older Lux listing) And I was SO wanting to see that picture!!!! Rick B

OK, at first, you will wonder why this is in the Vintage Vacuum section. That question will be (briefly) answered most of the way into this presentation. In either case, it is also the best representation of the 40's I have seen. (Go Hoover!) Rick B http://www.objflicks.com/decadeofthe1940s.html

What a really great array of Hoover at/near its best! Positively something to choose from for 'the little woman!' Thanks! RB

WOW! Really great HOOVER AD...LOVED IT! This is definitely one I have not seen before and thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks for all the efforts and contributions that led to this and other fun, new material. Hoover Rocks! (and plastic vacuums shake!) Rick B

I really love this 'Line-up' of Electrolux evolution but wish they had taken a bit more time and made it more accurate. Still, it's lots of fun to see the metmorphosis or progression. RB

To quote my uncle, "Man, this guys is REALLY proud of (this) cordwinder! I do love the original Belden plug, however! RB http://cgi.ebay.com/Electrolux-Vintage-Vacuum-Cordwinder-Model-XXX-/310277336993?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483df86fa1

So, during a discussion occasioned by my loaning an extra Lux 1205 to my neighbor's husband for remodeling work he was doing on his late father's house (just around the corner), his pleasant but rather foolish wife was bragging about her beloved Kirby and how much more suction(she believed) it...

I am guessing (apparently) the band has been repainted and the Green Logo surgically removed. Still, perhaps a nice original machine to restore. These were kind of a stand-alone model in so many ways.(paint, plug, 'dirt-finder + positive agitation' in an 'economy priced' full-sized cleaner!) Rick

Man, this person is REALLY proud of this Manual!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/VTG-1960-ELECTROLUX-Vacuum-MODEL-G-Owners-Manual-BOOK_W0QQitemZ120470923474QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAntiquarian_Collectible?hash=item1c0ca068d2

Man, this guy is pretty proud of his owner's manual...

....To own this...... IMHO, I think this guys is just a little TOO proud of his Electrolux 'Memorabilia!' Rick...
