War had yet to be declared March 20th 1939 when Miss E Molyneux of Shotton, Chester bought this cleaner from C Walters & Co Liverpool for £12:12:-
Some years later (around 50 in fact) this model cleaner was source of much fright to myself.
My great grandmothers Silent Q was kept in a small coal house retired but not thrown away after a Hoover Senior 6525C took major role in the household cleaning.
Like any other vac it became an object of my attention until an attempt to stop me playing with it became so desperate I was warned that the cleaner which stood idle for all those years was full of bees and wasps awaiting to "Get me".
Over my childhood years I wouldnt dare go inside the coal house but only open the door and peer inside at the Vactric froma safe distance awaiting some nasty creature to fly out the dark hole entering the cleaner and bite me.
When my Nan sold her house in the mid 1990s I plucked up the courage one day to use the cleaner with her supervision and even open it up to find no insects whatsoever only a little dirt and dust.
The Vactric got left in the house for the new owners to dispose of.
Fast forward to last week when this example came up on ebay and I just had to get it.
In fabulous condition, with a full tool kit and wooden box I thought it would be nice to own the first vacuum cleaner owned in the family.
So here it is the Vactic Silent Q ~ one not to be afraid of.
(ok so im still perhaps a little suspicious LOL)
