Wow, a Constellation convention! I love the orange one!
and, as the prostitute said to the Navy,
"There's more where that came from"!

Honestly, I'm not showing off,
I'm proud of it and enjoy sharing it with my friends. It was the 1st cleaner I bought, NEW, with paper route money. I was 16. It was a "clearance", $59.00 tools, 1031, an additional $9.99...Couldn't you DIE ?! And, it's been used a lot in this old place. See? If you take care of things.... HOOVER quality.

I think I'm having a moment, John....ahhhhhh.
I had a new 1076 myself, but in a fit of stupidity, I gave it to friends of mine. One of the dumbest things I ever did. One day I will have one again. They were a great cleaner, and I love the large headlight. The Estate Series were nice too...very modern looking. This was just about the peak of Hoover greatness.

The Hoovers are lovely, but that SOFA! Get me the smelling salts, Ethel! The lines are so elegant. You're gonna have to publish a coffee-table tome of photos when that house is done, buddy. I was already drooling over the bathtub, now THIS. OY!

Thanks for the wonderful comments. Once the cleanup starts around here, I'll photograph some of the furniture, if you'd like to see it. There is some truly great stuff in the place. Most are antiques... and MOST of THEM were carried in here NEW ! lolo
