Here is a link to my recent thread in the "Super Market." Since all of the Hoovers and Kirbys I would like to sell belong in the "Vintage" category I thought it would be useful to cross-list it here: https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?43823

Greetings Friends: I've come to a point in life where it makes the most sense . . . and sanity, to streamline my collection of several dozen, mostly 1910's through 1950's, mostly Hoover and Kirby uprights, to a select line-up of six to eight. A wide variety of rare replacement parts is also...

Enjoy! From an old friend.

Hello All: Would someone who owns a Hoover model 27 with the original paint finish please share with me whether or not the gray color on the sides of the hood matches the color of the metal base? Also does the handle match the top of the hood? Many thanks and happy Thanksgiving Marty

Dear Fellow VCCC Members: I am pleased to be able to officially announce that a creative and multi-faceted exhibit of Stan Kann's vacuum cleaner collection and memorabilia IS going to be installed at the City Museum of St. Louis, Missouri! The project is still in the development stage and is...

My Hoover 150 was minding its own business, sitting quietly in its corner when, suddenly, as a beam of the afternoon sun found its way across the room, this amazing halo appeared, reflected off of the cleaner's freshly polished, metal name band. What could it mean?

Could somebody more attuned than am I to the history of canister cleaners please tell me the brand and vintage of this hose end? Also, does the gray rubber cuff belong with it? Thanks Marty Kaplan
