The hose is purely decorative now since it is petrified and cracked open at the bend. I'll do what she and her Hoover Repair Depot would have done and graft that tool fitting (it's too large diametre to fit a Connie or Portable wand) onto the brown Variflex hose, keep the cloth hose hanging on display.
Fitted the bakelite tools and the converter to the caddy hoops. It's made of heavy cardstock at least 1/8" thick. Only things I need to complete it are the two wands...and a Manual.

another angle on the Tool Caddy
The hose must have hung on the hook for some time. Visually, except for that tape, it's perfect, as are the caddy & tools.
Some of the rest of the story about Margaret Templeton. Her husband predeceased her 5 years ago at the age of 90. Living alone in her own house she began to take in stray cats. Apparently her mind began to go astray as well; there were over 50 cats running loose and free in the house and as you can imagine most of the ancient befouled furniture had to be taken to the dump or burned along with all the linens and quilts, etc. The house is being gutted, fumigated and repainted for sale. Only things on the walls or in closets and cupboards were spared - thus the Hoovers' condition. Her daughter was about to move her to her home when Margaret probably decided to let loose her mortal coil. Good for you, Lady Templeton - Independant to the Last, says I.

What is too many?
I know I have too many
vacs
plants
cast iron pans
etc
The lady couldn't say no to a cat in need...
took on more than she could take care of
LOL
All of us have at least a dozen vacs
LOL
I have at least 4 per room myself....
LOL
Least vacs don't need a litter box
LOL
Good thing she kept the vac away from them

Excuse the rambling please
I love cats but I have a limit as to how many I would want. When I get my life back I might get a little brother for TomTiger, but he is stressed from the current situation. It is a shame that Mrs. Templeton let her kind nature get the best of her, and little can be saved when animals of any kind go all over. I see those nightmare stories on Animal Planet and had to quit watching. Back to the generosity of May, and Dave's eternal good luck, wow, does not get any better than that, huh? I love that shampooer/polisher!
