1983 Hoover Help-Mate WITH BOX LITERATURE AND ATTATCHMENTS!

[classicfan1]

I scored this while picking at my step-dad's place where they have kept everything for 50 years. Is it worth anything, I can guess though? I can't find any info on it. I plan to sell it. I'll get pics in a few minutes.

Here is a pic of it, got my camera working again.

They're great little cleaners

I have about 4 or 5 LOve them. It's nice to have the box and literature.

hmm...

Then are these like my 60s Royal 501 on eBay? Common in typical condition, but rare in the sense that it is so complete?

Did they ever make a gey one sold by itself like that?

 

[classicfan1]

Well...

I saw a blue one similar to this in the archives. In the manual, it says that there was a "Help-Mate II" and it included a mounting brcket for the vacuum and the attatchments. Maybe that was what the blue one was?

Value?

What could smething like this sell for? I just had a Royal from the 60s in very similar shape with $12 starting bid, 7 watchers and no sale. But this being a Hoover...could things be much different?

I see these on eBay a lot with the box, they don't go for more than $20 if I recall.
