    Curbside HOOVER find!!

    I can't wait either! The well-off and wealthy are often either clueless or so loaded with funds that they can chuck flawless items with minor problems to the curb with no qualms. After all, in most of their minds, if it's old, it's trash. Glad you saved that baby, John!

    Tragedy at Aperture!

    I don't think his sister had anything to do with it, I think the vacuums were flopped into her old room by someone else. I have definite opinions of people who throw out, move, or take things that do not belong to them without asking.

    Tragedy at Aperture!

    Whatever happened to "ask me first" before you move/ Parents, brothers, sisters, whoever, learn how to ASK before you trash or toss our things into the dump, or another room. Good luck Alex, I hope the losses are minimal.

    Just lost over 1/2 of my collection

    We had a bank building from the 1920s or so in downtown Stuart Florida, that at the time had the local AA renting it. It burned to the ground, so to speak, it was a concrete and stone building. Somehow, instead of turning it into a parking lot, the building was reproduced after the fire, and you...

    Eureka Whisk

    They seem to be the same as General Electric, I have one somewhere, as well as the GE. They work pretty well. There's an old thread concerning both these models in the Archives.

    More sightings.........

    On Bachelor Father, there is an episode where Peter is vacuuming with the Swivel Top and humming along to the noise it's making. He composes a tune for a Twilight Zone type program as a result. I'm hoping Comcast gets Antenna TV here, that's my favorite vintage show.

    Todays POD - GE cannister

    I didn't know this one existed until I saw the catalogue that was posted on here, and then I ended up with one through a friend in the club. Really nice design.
