Charles~Richard, your collection is fascinating, not boring. Did Hoover have models in addition to the upright tape measures? I saw a couple at a repair shop, the man didn't mention tape measures. I always wanted a Constellation tape measure, and now the GE Swivel-Top and Reach-Easy ones also. Or the sewing kits. Keep 'em coming!

That was Great!!!!!

I am so proud of me for starting this thread!!!! That luxXXX calender is what I was talking about. I should have bid on it! It really looks cool with your other things Charles.-O.K. Lux1521---I'm going to have to see your slot machine!!!!

 

[lux1521]

Ok. As requested the slot machine bank. It actualy functions. Pull the lever and the wheels go around. I'll have pictures of some other things a bit later.

 

[crevicetool]

Thanks so much...

It was hard to imagine what you were explaining...all clear now!! That slot machine is really something...

You know, one second thought.....

I feel it is my duty to inspect all those items pictured within this thread...If you will kindly ship them to me I will inspect for any defects in materials or workmanship and of course ship them right back.. You're welcome, it's the least I could do...

Awesome!

I really enjoyed seeing your miniatures up close. The bank thing was used by other brands then Electrolux. I remember back in 1970 seeing a new Kirby classic and wondering why they changed the handle style. Then even more perplexed by the
fact that plastic panel on the back of the handle. Then
with a slit in it and then a knob to unscrew to take it off?
It wasn't until I had a demo in my home in Aug. of 1970 for the new Kirby Classic that I bought.
That I found out I was suppose to save my change in the back of the
handle to make my $14.00 a month payment.
Charles, I love the two kirby's especially the one you made the bag for!!

Great Collection of Miniatures, Charles!

I never realized how many miniatures were made over the years. I do have a few myself, including a Hoover Constellation tape measure, Matchbox Hoover truck (Ford Model T), and a turquoise Electrolux G bank, which is the most cherished of these, because my uncle gave it to me when he was selling Electrolux.
It's amazing too, the detail some of them had, especially the mini Kirbys and the GE Swiveltop sewing kit, and the Lux banks.

It is interesting how many people have the Hoover delivery trucks. I have one so that makes 3 of us in this one thread.
Anyway I'll post some more of my pictures considering I have only contributed 2 so far.

Calculator, calander, clock (sorry about the blurryness):
