Thank you for the kind words! I hate seeing stuff thrown out that doesn't need to be! I have garbage picked a contemporary dresser with clear drawer fronts that still smelt brand new! Also, I saved a 3 legged mid century corner table! I took the table apart, sanded the old stain off...
Hi everyone! About a month ago my husband and I went home a different street in our neighborhood and I found a Kirby handle sticking out of the garbage can!!! As we drove by, I shouted Kirby G5!!! My husband backed up and I looked at it and discovered it's a Kirby G six!!!
I got me a free...
Hi, my name is Michelle. I have a Kenmore Twin Fans for sale. I don't know the value on it! $20 obo + shipping. The light cover is missing, that's how it was when I bought it. It does work!
I have a few other vacuums I would like to sell too, plus both Kirby Sentria attachment kits!
I live in...

I got my Hoover 150 I named Henry a few years ago. My husband and I restored a customer's Corvette and he knew we collected things. He gave my husband the 150 and said it was his mother's. We are in the process of restoring him! His cord is too dry rotten, so we don't know if he works! The bag...

Haha! That's awesome! Thank you! I sure love my Kirbys! Haha scrubby duck! He is such a wonderful vacuum! I truly love using him! I switch off, they all get a chance to clean! Except for poor DS 50! He needs his bearings greased, new brush roll, and belt! I am getting him a new...

Thank you! I got the Heritage II and DS 50 together years ago off of EBay. My DS50 needs the bearings greased and a fork spring. We just replaced the ugly and gross blue bag someone put on it. I found an aftermarket tan bag on EBay that looks so much better! I am going to buy a lightbulb...
My husband and I got my Kirby Heritage II up and working! I have had him for years and finally got to him! The previous owner over used a disposable bag and it had exploded inside! I took his outer bag and emptor off, washed his bag in woolite, hung it to dry, reinstalled it, put a new bag in...
I have had this 1965 Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50 for close to 4 years! Finally getting to him! He had a generic blue unbranded bag put on him when I bought him. I can't find an original tan bag that he should have, but I found this generic tan pattern bag on EBay!!! I love it! It looks like it came...

Hi!!! Thanks!!! So awesome that people remember Sweepy!!!! We have kind of worked on him here and there because I now have a 1958 Plymouth Savoy named Little Red, a 1967 Pontiac Lemans named Mr. Blue, and a 1964 Chevy Impala named Lily! The Impala was my dad's car and he had it since I...

Awwww, thank you so much!!! I don't post much on here, mostly on facebook. Are you on facebook? I post everything from the cars we restore at work, our cars we are restoring, my mixers, my vacuums, and miscellaneous projects!

Thanks! Yes the mixer came with the bowls! Definitely donate or give stuff away! I hate when good stuff goes into the garbage! Especially vintage stuff! That's my husband's 1977 Chevy Chevette Scooter named Scooty! We saved him from a barn that was in our neighborhood. He sat...
Nice save!!!
I love saving vintage stuff from going into the garbage!!! I saved this mid century Mersman end table from the garbage! He was upside-down and his finish was coming off! I took him apart, sanded him down, stained, and cleared him! He now resides in my bedroom and holds my alarm...
