A Few Pics

You may remember last year when I posted that someone brought a Westinghouse hand vac to me at work, or this January when I posted about my first trash find, a Hoover 305. Well, I finally got around to scanning the pics, so here they are. First, the Westinghouse model H-10 hand vac. Runs great and is all bakelite except for the wooden handle.

Next, The Hoover 305

Saw this on top of a trash pile and thought it was a 28. Almost passed it by, but then I thought it could be a 27 or a 305, or even if it was a 28, I could probably find a home for it. As I got closer I saw the embossed hood and knew right away it was a 305, and I wasted no time in getting it to my car!
It has a replacement cord and bag (which leaks) but runs great!

Thanks Calem!

Unfortunately, I don't have the winning lottery tickets you mentioned. Sure could use that right about now!

What a mean looking 305! Lovely design, but I can see why children grew up scared of these things!
