KirbyCollector, your link does not work. fleabay cant find it.

I cant make the sale either. But would love some of the early kirby machines. Same question as Brad, are you will to sale via email or phone? Thanks Ed

Its very generous of you to pass these along. I wish I could come and pickup the whole lot. But it's just a little too far for me.

Apparently its not only kirby that people think are worth a fortune. This person would like 20000 for a turbo brush. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Very-Rare-Antique-Vacuum-Accessorie-Electrolux-Turbotool-/322373616396?hash=item4b0ef7030c:g:FmgAAOSwjDZYZS6X

I managed to get lucky today. I was trolling around craigslist and find an "old vacuum - not working" listing. I talked to the seller and he had the vacuum and a bunch of attachments. After some detailed questions, he let me know that the bottom plate said it was a model 513. He also let...

Thanks Gottahavehoove, I thought it might be from the 50s due to the style of the kirby logo. Even if it is not from the 50s, you are correct, it is definitely old. hygiene903: Those are wonderful. Can't believe a electrolux was only 11.95 with attachments. I have just started to...

Wow, what are people thinking. Its not like they are selling a prototype of the kirby kirby ever or something. I picked up a 513 today, with all the original attachments, and runs like it's brand new. I paid about 1 percent of what this guy is asking. I might go $50 for this one. :)...

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Seems to be rare to me, but which year? maybe 1965 or 1970? Thanks Ed

Looking forward to those pictures. I would be interested in some parts. I have a newer Gen3 that needs a shampooer. Or any attachment for the older 505 to 518 or anything older than that.

Awesome looking machine. I wish mine looked that good. :)

Just noticed this for sale on ebay. Good Luck if you want it, price is currently 50.00. I am not the seller, just thought I would share...

Hey Dave, how much are you wanting for this? Is it all original, seems like there is a color mismatch.

KirbyCollector and electrolux137. Thanks for your replies and sharing your knowledge. I now just have to complete overhaul the motor. It is very loud and sounds like the bearings are going bad. Does anyone have the service manual for a 516? I would be willing to trade or pay for it...

What a great day. I was finally able to pickup a vintage Kirby 516. It looks all original to me, but I am not an expert. My collection is now 3 Kirbys. The motor needs some work, but its still a great machine. So, Is this all original. Not sure about the cord or bag.

Any original 500 series Kirby Or any original Scott Fetzer machines

Thanks Ben Owner just messaged. Says the plate says MOD 258, Watts 550. Has all the attachments and hose. So it seems to be pre 1949 and might be a rare find. Ed

Can anyone tell me the age of this vacuum? I don't know anything about Royals, but it looks like its from the 50s or before. Thanks Ed

Descent looking D80 on craigslist - looks like they want $25. has attachments. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/atq/5842254975.html

Looks like a free Kirby Heritage for parts - States it needs a motor http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/zip/5842906847.html Has attachments

thanks for the info. I will continue my search for genuine old accessories.
