Market is saturated.
Its like the auto market with declining sales for several years now.

Also older generation that knows and collected these is fading out or losing interest in them - and there's not enough of the newer generation (yet) that wants to buy them or is even aware. I just lost a bid on a Bison vacuum that only sold for $76. Complete with tools and in exceptionally good shape. Vacuum cleaners also for whatever reason do not crossover to the interest of antique collectors either, so there isn't much competition in the market.

"...older generation that knows and collected these is fading out or losing interest in them..." that's equivalent to what I stated.
I doubt anybody collects butter churns, horse shoeing equipment, and canning equipment. That was such a 70s thing.
It's getting difficult finding people that still do sewing or seamstress work.

It's weird to think that the Hoover spirit canister maybe too old for young collectors.

I mean I want it.
It’s a cool model and I have an interest in the antique Kirbys.

If your favorite vacuum cleaner company is kirby of course you want it. It's probably the third most desired vacuum ever made.
1. Frantz Premier Vacuette
2. Hoover 800
3. Kirby vacuette electric or wireless
The past 6 months 2 have sold close to $1000 each.
