Does such an item exist?

[s31463221]

I have many eBay alerts set up, and this morning one of those triggered. I have a funny feeling however, that it’s a false alarm. Since I’m not claiming for once second to know everything there is to know about them, I thought I’d pose this to you all who have more insight than I do! We all know (well many of us anyway) about the Electrolux Model GH or the Hospital G.....THIS seller claims to have a model L Hospital......is that actually a real thing, or is this seller just trying to sell something that isn’t real? To me it looks like a plain old Model L, but I’ve been mistaken before!

'hospital'?? Mo L

This is from thehenrycompany that has had many nice and rare vac items.But with this Mo L I think it is a case of not knowing the full story of all items.It is 'hospital' only in the color being similar to the first GH.Mo Ls were first white,then tan,blue and gold.An honest mistake from a seller with a wide variety of items.Most here might want to watch their listing as the literature offered can answer many vac questions.
(I use 3 Mo Ls in different areas.Great vacs with great and easy bag system.)

Hey buds...I've never heard of a Hospital L before and by the looks of this machine it appears to be a standard Model L with the cord winder accessory. I hope your doing well.

Painted

The vacuum looks like someone slapped a nice coat of white paint. I see nothing special about it. It's a good painted vacuum nothing rare

I have bought from him (them?) before. They are good people and offer some amazing deals (at least for me since I live within the state so shipping is cheap). Chatted over eBay email a few times when I bought my Hoover Power Drive.

The story with them is that they do not do full tear-down bench tests of vacuums. Whatever comes into their store, they put on eBay. Repairable vacuums and odds and ends parts. They sell them as-is where is, and all they know about them is that they plug them in and turn them on, and read what the model tags say. They are not historians, so they can have wrong info, but it is not intentional, they just don't know much about it.

That being said, the model L's did come in all white with teal accents and do look like a Hospital G in terms of color tone.

I borrowed this photo from Google Images of a Model L.

True

I have talked to owner and sales manager via eBay email. They don't sell bad items they sell good vacuums there not glamorous vacuums except the silver King they have. They are fair and honest I can vouch for that. I'll take back my comment because I know Steve and Dave. It's not there silver King but it's a good vacuum.
They were first filter queen salesman in Indiana. They are third generation family owned. Steve Henry is 3rd generation owner. He is a little to the book ND Dave is more humorous. They both know a ton about royal and I've asked questions nobody other than a few people on here would know.
