    I found this Hoover model 425 at an antique store near my house. It was $28.00. The bag and cord appear original to me. Am I right? The poor bumper appears to have crumbled off at some point, I will have to fix that later. It does run well Though! now I just need to find my polish!

    Kirby Heritage find

    I found this Kirby Heritage at a thrift store last friday. It had a sign on it that said "needs work". It turned out to just be a broken fan blade. The vacuum was only $10.00. I put a new fan in and it runs great now. This one is cool because it has the small nozzle.
