A rare kirby!!

[vaclover]

Hi james.thats the oldest kirby i have ever seen in South-Africa.i Have a Electrolux model Z170, then ive got a Electrolux Model Z302,an Hoover model u4006 and an premiere Products Mini,Made in Cheltenham England.a Kirby Legend II but thats a 1989 or 90 Model.then i have a Hoover Shampoo Polisher.it seems to me that South-Africa only got electric vacuum cleaners in the late 60's?heres an antique dealer where i once saw a Baby daizy vacuum cleaner.it has bellows with a long handle to operate the bellows and then the extension pipes in front.but they didnt want to sell it.Sorry for talking about other vacuums on this topic but the collections on this site is fascinating.
