Polisher...

I've been after one of these for a long time... was just one of those things I could never seem to find. Then, there it was! I saw the box with the brushes first, then my eyes wandered until I saw the polisher handle. :-)

That 63 looks better than most of my new vacuums. I do have to kind of laugh at that thick cord and plug.
 
Fred,
Real nice ... now you're just showing off. jk
Nice finds.
Love the polisher.
I think it has a headlight ... love that.
The 63 looks like it's in great shape.
Very little wear on the handle and the base appears to have few scratches.
Keep posting .... it's an inspiration to the rest of us.
You can't find treasures like that unless you put forth the effort, routinely.
Enjoy!!

Wow Fred, another great week at the sales!!! Sure nothing like that down here. Both the 63 and the polisher look as if they had a pretty protected life!!! Just think how you can make those floors shine now!!!
 
That polisher was made from 1950-1955... and they only made about 20,000 of them. I believe it was called the "Minute Man" polisher. I have an ad for it somewhere around here.
 
mmm, Minneapolis - St Paul...the new Vacuum Vortex Time Capsule Motherload capitol of the Midwest...and I drive through there on my way to Winnipeg each November. :-)

Just imagine what the pair of us could twingle out, eh Fred?

Block Letter Hoovers......

Was this a particular era in Hoover history? Did the "Block Letter Hoovers" precede the famous circular red logo? When was the famous Hoover-in-a-Circle introduced?
 
So while Fred was at work this afternoon I tippy-toed back to that sale in Golden Valley and bought for $5 a beautful Lux automatic E and this Eureka Roto-matic just to try for $2.50. Plus check out this one bag that I also found at the sale (bag was free :-D)

Not to mention a winder de' cord as they say in France!

Wonderful! I've been looking for one of those yellow Roto's for a while. Good for you!

No good for you :-)
Well since it will be in the mail to you next week Rick, Fred and I expect to see it entered into the "Best Restored" category at the convention next year!

Those sales just keep getting better and better!!

Love the Eureka and Electrolux Automatic E guys. I know that Rick has been hoping to find one of those yellow Eureka'a and how much he will appreciate it Robert!! That is so nice of you!! Interesting Whirlpool bag to, Leslie gave me a vcr tape to share with the club called Whirlpool Power Clean Vacuum Cleaners I must remember to bring it the next time we see each other. Thanks for sharing you great weekend finds!!!! Terry
 
Well... bless my Bouncing Banana!!

Fred and Robert! You certainly didn't have to do that! That will be wonderful!

Naturally, I've got a standard ninety seven page document, (prepared by my attorney) Library/Congress #VS6739823 -subsection 2A - signed and notarized, with explicit shipping instructions that I will mail (USPS) to you. Bandwidth/document size of course prevent downloading it on the forum or E-mail.

Somewhat dismayed that so many vacuums are in varying shades of blue, gray, or red, I felt that my collection has always needed one that will stick out! Other than modern plastic units, this is the only vintage yellow machine (that isn't gold or harvest gold -ish)I know of. I am so thrilled. I will do my best on it.

Thank you both so much.

Rick
 
Great Finds!

WOW, Fred, looks like you and Robert have both found some beautiful machines lately, especially the Hoover 63 and Lux AE. Love that GE on your other thread, too! Can't beat the prices, either!
And Robert, how thoughtful of you to give the Eureka to Rick! I know it will look like new when he's done with it!
