1930's Montgomery Ward Vacuum "Search"

[bob_smith]

This is the vacuum page out of a 30's era Wards Catalog I came across.
I was curious if anyone has the models featured here, feel free to share if you do!
Bonus points for the toy hoover.

I have the Hoover, and a friend has the Wardway on the top left, and the head of the Majestic(Apex) on the top right. The Wardway handheld is a rebranded Apex, and very rare. I've only seen one. I had a Polar Cub handheld like that, and Hygiene903 here has the Simplex(branded Rotarex, a division of Apex). The Climax is a rebranded Majestic.

Thanks for posting these awesome ads!

Kieran,

Actually "had" would be the proper word, as I donated my Rotarex to the Vacuum Cleaner Museum several years ago. I felt that something so rare should be in a museum for all to see.

What a great gift from Jeff. Displayed for the world to see.

Tom,

Glad you like it, and it looks great in between the AirWay and the Eureka! Hope to get out some day to see the museum and visit but don't know when. After the 2-year ordeal with my foot I only started driving again about a month and a half ago and need more practice with distance and highway driving before I make that long of a trip. The farthest I've driven since I started driving again was to Luke's for the mini meet 2 weeks ago, about 30 miles.
