Generic vintage irons salt/pepper shakers

Specially designed Kirby miniature, based on the coin bank. I made the bag from an old pair of slacks, created the logo on the Mac, the cord is thin black wire with a u-prong connector for the plug. I also added the correct belt lifter logo.

I had some fun with this once on the old vccc forum - I posted some photos of this with a plain background so you couldn't get a size reference, concealed the plug, and asked everyone if they had ever seen such a model of Kirby before. I pretty much pulled everyone's leg with it!

Somewhere around here, I have (or had) the Lux XII leatherette bank that looks like a small leather-bound volume, but I don't know what's become of it.

There is an XXX ashtray the same as the F shown above (plaster base spray-painted gold), but the machine is more highly detailed than the F. I do not have one of these but have seen them. Since there was an XXX and F, there may have also been LX, E and AE ash trays as well. Talk about something to look for!

Other stuff I have seen:

- turquoise G & power nozzle ash try - same style as the tan G shown above

- Lux G rug washer paperweight (I think?) -- it was pretty big, about 4" in diameter

- Filter Queen wrinkle-finish - bank? ?? don't remember what it was

- Silver wrinkle-finish Rex-Air bank

- Silver wrinkle-finish Rex-Air paperweight - solid and heavy!

What else.......? I am sure I have seen other stuff.......

Really nice etched drinking glasses with Lux G and B7 floor polisher


OH -- I also have a set of four plastic tumblers with line drawings of various Model G scenes on them.

AND THEN there's my collection of toy vacs, but I think that should wait for another thread....... as it is, I suppose the Vacuumland server is overheating from all these pix I have posted! Hope they are enjoyable and not a bore.......
