Finally packing, (boxing) tons of Hoover items

[gottahaveahoove]

in anticipation of "Greg".. carpenter, to begin the gallery. I very well may sell some of it ,as things approach.  I've discovered many 'multiples'  of things.  Some, I'm glad about. Others, can go on to new homes. For instance, I discovered TWO 'beehive' blenders, 2 or 3 waffle bakers, etc.


 The new room will be designed to house and showcase Hoover products in the very best light imaginable. I'm finally getting anxious about this.  pics to follow, soon. I must take new ones with the phone, in order to post.


 


Anything, in particular, anyone would care to see?  models?  vintage era? type of appliance... floorcare? above the floor?

I know, I'm not alone when I

wonder 'how it all got here'?


 


I really must decide, in detail, what to do with it all, when I'm gone.


My nephew does know to contact Tom, first. Tom Anderson, of course.

Sounds like a good plan, John. I hope it turns out the way you want it.

How do you plan to group the cleaners? I always like seeing single or double color groupings such as those that would have been advertised in the back cover of instruction books. Another thought is going by some of the earlier magazine ads like (going by memory) the early '50s blue cleaners & chrome kitchen appliances & late '50s green and yellow cleaners.

Do you have every Hoover appliance from a certain decade or decades?

Congrats on having a museum room for your collection, something a lot of us can only dream of! Yes once you start going through stuff you will find stuff that has a place and stuff that doesn't. I'd get the stuff set up first that you know what to do with and know what you want to keep then later look at what you got left and see what to do with that stuff.

I always liked that cool looking British-made Hoover Harlequin canister with the wire tool rack. They were sold in Canada in the 1960’s - not sure about the USA.

I also love my Hoover Platinum Lightweight bagged upright - I really think one of Hoover’s best modern uprights! So easy to use and very effective.

I'd love to get a "British" floor nozzle. the on

like an Electrolux..simply, because we never had them. I plan to put all of the Connies on one long shelf, up high.


The Handivacs will hang on a wall, staggered. I hope to place the non-floor items on shelves, as  well. It all can be changed around, as desired.


 


And, yes, I'm finding things... dear Lord!
