Some recent finds by HOOVER!

Orange (?) model U 4053, in great shape. Very fond of this model and it runs excellent! I think this is just a one speed model tho.....perhaps the Hoover experts can inform me on this.......but it runs nice and smoothly, just like a Hoover should.....!

Bag close up..... this model has the snaps instead of the zipper, and all but one are still good.

Aqua Model 69, one of Hoovers most famous sellers.........a little rough.....but works very well. Totally disassembled this and cleaned each piece. Another smooth running Hoover......this is a two speed model........

Hoover Swingette......Brown and Orange......Love these for bare floors and quick surface pick up on carpets.....I think this was known as the "lunchbox" design by the Hoover people........

Even tho this sticker was on the refrig, I still tested it before I bought it........and yes, it does work and get cold.......Hope you enjoy this Tom! One more Hoover Co. item for you........making its way back home to N. Canton......

Boy are you lucky! I have the red/orange Convertible with a white bag, and the same Swingette. I don't have the refrigerator or the blue Convertible though. I do have a salon type hairdryer and a steam iron!

Lucky? Well yes, sometimes, but with luck comes a LOT of footwork and searching.....and many trips that leave me emptyhanded.........Ebay is always a good source,but often you are at the mercy of terrible packers and shippers or sellers who are not quite honest in their descriptions. Most collections that we have are a LOT of work and searching, and along with luck comes the skill of the hunt.............
