Electrolux items/And why I love my job.........

[vibrabeat]

Its sometimes very difficult being self employed but often the side benefits are very rewarding.....I have an estate sale/liquidation business and while starting to work on my most recent project this weekend Im uncovering some great finds..... A family memeber at some point was an Electrolux dealer, but there are also some other great vacuum finds in this house.........

Here is an "Electrolux" that was quite exciting to find:

One of my crew found this and started screaming.......I thought she had uncovered something that was still alive and crawling.......This is very heavy and very interesting.....has many models of Electrolux vacuum images cast on the plate...........

While we are still unpacking and digging out in this house.......it appears the person might have worked for more than one vacuum company........

A few more very interesting finds..........A Chrystler AirTemp window airconditioner..........on a pole!

Working Magnavox 25" color console from 1969........with louvered doors.........

There is also a vintage washer and dryer in this house. Im meeting with one of the members from the washer group today and we are moving the set out.......A great vintage find from 1972 will soon be owned by an Ohio member who I know will put it to good use! .......more to come as we uncover more vacuum finds!.........

Vibra-Beat, I crave that Magnavox and Stromberg Carlson! The rest of it is totally unbelievable! Hope they go to good homes, and that you make a handsome profit!

Yes, the Magnavox is fabulous. I will be keeping that set for myself, not sure about the Stromberg Carlson tho....
Im still finding more vacuum related material in this house.......Gene is coming for the washer and dryer tomorrow...I will be posting more pics of the finds as I go.....

Glad you're keeping the Magnavox, and be warned-the Stromberg Carlson TV set is rare and desirable, sell accordingly or keep it. I could have had a beautiful Danish Modern Mag TV with legs, and sliding tambour doors, strangely enough, I think the neighbors behind me ended up with it. I could see it on the glassed in back porch. Again, neighbors or people who can't tell a TV from a motorcycle.
