How much is it. Would you ship?

 

[gregvacs28]

Unless you provide pictures of everything, are willing to pack and ship OR drop off vacs at a UPS store that will work with customers over the phone to pack and ship, and take electronic payments, I don't think you'll get enough customers to buy everything.


 


But good luck.  It looks like you have a lot of stuff there.

<div style="margin-top: 63px;">Just curious, you two are easily 15-20 years younger than me.  I've never heard of these.  Where are you getting information about them and why would you want something that old?     The vacs you grew up with would have been from the 80s, 90s or maybe the 70s.</div>

Lol

Okay, so we have to be 60 to like a vacuum. That's interesting theory. The dual sanitronic 80 is one of my favorite vacuums yet it's still 13-15 years before I was born. I have a 1937 3c and a 1922 p a geier handvac and a 1926 royal upright. If we follow your theory nobody on this board can collect past 1950s.
I have an American Lincoln super sweep the 1984 version. I like the ds80 1967-1969. I like history and learning about it.
I could argue vacs made after 2000 you shouldn't be able to like. The reasoning is my generation inven3nted it and your too old and smart enough to own one.
I also like several sports cars from 1950s to 1971.
I like the history behind the vacuum.
The internet is advanced because my generation advanced it. My generation also advanced everything to heights it is today.
Alles gut endes gut. All is well than ends well.

[madman]

lol? Why does anyone collect anything? Because it's cool, duh.

Sadly, there is little to no information on Clements-made vacs. There are some out there, though, and I already own 3. The one thing I do know is that Clements was a major player in the vacuum game in the very early days, around turn of the century.

 

[gregvacs28]

Nothing to get defensive about people, I'm just wondering what the basis is of your interest.   


 


Also, if you're legit interested in these or if you're just  special interest sellers of said vacs hoping to pump up interest in them in order to off load them.


 


People can and do collect any number of things for a number of unique reasons.   Often times people have an interest in something "older" because they grew up with it and it's familiar and comforting.  


 


But one can certainly collect things for other reasons.


 


"Sadly, there is little to no information on Clements-made vacs."  This is what I'm saying so...... how did you find out about it?


 


Les- do you think maybe, just maybe this "The internet is advanced because my generation advanced it. "  is stretching things a little bit?  Maybe previous generations that contained people like..... Michael Dell and a small little niche player like Bill Gates might get a little bit of the credit?

If you don't want people to make fruitless assumptions maybe you should not yourself.
I'm not closed minded enough to agree with my assumptions.
I grew up with the shoddiest Kenmore cannister. It just didn't work well. The first vacuum that did was a g4 Kirby.
I collect old vacuums as I feel it carries on the original owners legacy. It's me paying homage to their vacuum and teaching others about it.
I have no pre conceived assumptions or beliefs. Al Gore invented the internet. It wasn't the army in the early 1960s.

Maybe madman bought a Cadillac hand vacuum because he liked the style. I believe then he came across a MFG of a vacuum similar to the Cadillac and it intrigued him.

replys--

--Montgomery Ward?The brown?I also have green & tan,at least 1 with silk type bag.Will try to add pics of brown (1 1/2 vacs) later.
--pictures,--willing to pack--drop off at UPS store that will work with customers over the phone--.YES!! to all of above!Adding pictures(some by request)today.Many items I can carefully pack.Some more valuable items(after 2 nightmare shipping problems with previous EBay sales) I prefer UPS to pack and insure.UPS is half mile away.I have had customers as far away as AZ & CA use with no problems.Those who have made the easy drive can pick & choose and have in past filled station wagons,SUVs & trucks.Just yesterday 6 vacs were spoken for and will likely have new homes.
Cadillac--At least 2 tanks.May still be an upright.
More later.
Much more after the 1st.

 

[rugsucker]

Janitronic/American Lincoln

Have only had 1 green & 1 red,white & blue.I think both were sold.

 

[dysonman1]

Picture 17 of "much much more". The first tank, sitting next to the red eureka tank. What is that? Is it a monkey wards version of something?

 

[rugsucker]

pic 17

1939 Montgomery Wards from Apex by Walter Dorwin Teague.No exposed fasteners and a push button bag door release that probably wasn't seen again until 1956 Elux AE.

 

[rugsucker]

MW & DD

Brown MW/Eureka--Nice vac with 2 speed switch in handle,6 position adjuster,headlight,etc.The UR is very good with nice original bag with good zipper and nice original cord but no motor or brush.The base seems to have good motor but bad fan.
Pro Series(blue)Can Vac--1 with worn bearing.1 with BAD fan.
Can Vac(red)--All good.One with PowerPak is nicest.

(Can Vacs are an example of what I am trying to do as to gathering same makes and models and any related hoses,parts,etc together from a 1 story building with back room and a 2 story building with half attic.)
