1946 Kirby 505 I found on eBay

[KirbyCollector01]

Here’s a 1946 Kirby 505 I saw on eBay. I want it, but I already know it’s going to bid up to a point where I won’t be able to afford it. So I’m sharing it with everyone here. It’s all original except the 508 belt lifter. In very good shape! Good luck to anyone who bids on it.

Thom,

That does look pretty original indeed, color of belt lifter aside.

I had a 505 before, and it too had a 508 belt lifter.

Thomas,

You are extremely thoughtful to list this for others.
It's a shame someone like you can't get this machine.
Totally considerate.

Thank you so much. I just want it to go to someone who’ll enjoy it, even though it isn’t mine.

Nice

That's in pretty good condition. I have a 512-515 red bumper trim with a 505 belt lifter. The cord, handle, bag bag boot are all original.
