American Lincoln Super Sweep

[Zombie]

Anyone have any info on these? I tried looking them up on google and the only thing that came up was this website.

So far, I've learned plenty about a lot of vintage vacuums thanks to this site, but nothing about mine haha. It's one of the green ones, which I think is one of the early ones? From what I can tell, it has all the original parts, such as the bag. I did get a brand new belt and light for it.

Runs like a charm, sounds like a jet engine (I think that's good?)

Thanks in advance!

P.S.

Does anyone know what these are worth? I may end up selling it when it's all said and done.

Pictures of your machine would help this thread greatly. And since you say yours is green in color (is it army green or Irish green), you indeed have one of the early ones.

Hi,

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Hi, I and others on here would love to see pictures of it.</span>


<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Value is hard to say as with all things it's only worth what someone is willing to pay.</span>


<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">I'm sure if it's in decent condition it will do well tho.</span>

I'll be glad to take some pictures when I get out of class. Should be within the next few hours.

Thank you all for your willingness to help me!

I'm sure we'd all love to see pictures of this. These are very very rare machines. If you have a green one, it's probably from sometime in the '70s.

How did you manage to come across this vacuum?

Here's the photos of the cleaner. Not sure what you could gather from the serial number, but it's 176452.

John,

Yours is likely one of the last of the army green Super-Sweeps, being made circa 1972.

They used them in my junior and high schools. Junior high had them in all dark green with shake out bag & high school they had the ones shown in the picture as listed. Elementary they gad the big heavy Hoovers with the adjuster underneath the back wheels. Mark D.
