Finally preparing the Vacuum "gallery". Care to see some HOOVERS?

[gottahaveahoove]

Yesterday, I was up in the "gallery/cats' apt".

going through things.  I almost died at the stuff I was finding.......  another heater,  tools,  books, etc.....


 I'm soon going to post the rest of the 50s cleaners...  Then,  I'm anxious to start with the Convertibles!!


 

 

[jmurray01]

Can't wait to see more!  I'll be keeping a keen eye on this thread.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

You'll see more VERY soon.

Yesterday, I discovered another 29 (makes 3 now,I think),my Hoover "Baby", a heater, all of the coffee cans and the 1940s lineup. Wow!!

Stay Positive!!

Glad you're keeping the positive morale!! I hope doctors can continue to offer you guidance and help with out drastic measures!!

Thank you for the open invitation! I love coming that way when I can!

I look forward to more photos. I'm quite stressed and swamped at moment with getting ready to move. Once the move is over much will be better!! Will abolutely talk soon!!

All the best and stay well John!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I've been swamped and STRESSED too!!

It's been an awful time lately. All will be ok, I'm sure.
I'm anxious to post more pics of the "collection". It's like therapy. THe cats see cleaners coming out and look at me with, "Really??? "..followed by, "Oh pictures...let's get in them".
lolol

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Might I add..................

Excedrin is a wonderful thing, at least for now.
Headaches are a horror to suffer with. Some people never get them. I have one about 16 days out of a month. Sadly, one gets used to them. It could be worse, however, and might be later.

Dear John,I´m sorry to know you´re still having those headaches. You know I worry about them, but I know you can´t avoid them. There´s not much I can say about them, but there´s a lot a friends around you who loves you, worry about your health and above all you´re not alone, even for people so far away as the other hemisphere.
Hugs Gus.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Gus, you are terribly kind!!

I've had headaches (but not like this) since I was 10 years old. My grandmother, aunt, father, and nephew have all had 'brain things'...so, it's not 'news'. But......
you have always been so very kind to everyone in here. THat shows the kind of person you are....that is truly a gift!
There'll be more photos very soon. I love getting these things together to share with others. They're like hamsters: one day you have one, then two.............................................. What's great is finding the things you've only heard about. WhenI visit my friend, Tom A. I see things and make a mental list. I enjoy seeing my friends come for a visit/meet and see, try out, photograph all this stuff. It's great.
More pics VERY SOON.......
John

 

[gottahaveahoove]

@ gottahaveahoover.

Congratulations, an absolutely stunning collection. If you restored those yourself you have some serious skills

 

[jmurray01]

"Headaches are a horror to suffer with."

I know this all too well unfortunately, having suffered with almost daily migraines for the past 2 years.  Around 50% of the time they are just a very bad headache but for the other 50% they include sight-loss/distortion, nausea and numbness of limbs.  The doctors cannot explain why I get them and blood tests showed nothing.  It was worrying at first but now, like you, I have learned to live with them. 


 


Back on topic - it is great to see more pictures!!  That air purifier is very interesting as I've never seen one made by HOOVER.  What year was it from do you know?

 

[Tech12]

Sorry to detract from the original thread.

But J Murray: If they've not already done one, talk to your doctor about having a Cat scan. I suffered for years with the same sort of symptoms you describe and had multiple blood tests etc, all negative . It wasn't until I changed doctor & was sent to a specialist who ordered a Cat scan that they discovered a brain tumour was the cause. I hope it's not the same in your case, but if it is you can get the treatment you need.


 


Better safe than sorry.

Andy,

Thank you, very much.  I'm better at restoring than I am at repairin.  Glad you're enjoying these.  There's so much more to go through.  I peeked into a "spare bedroom".  This is a 'glimpse'.  YIKES !!!!!


 John

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Jamie,

I believe that purifier is late 60s into early 70s.  I have seen it in brochures (lefalets for you).......

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Here's a nice little grouping. They're not all ther

I WILL post a pic of the 50s "family". This was just a little "holiday" red and green theme.

 

[jmurray01]

That Senior (Convertible!) on the far left is gorgeous!!  I love that colour, never seen it before I don't think.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Isn't it great??

It was the last one with that style hood.  THere is no light.  it is a fake lens.  Everyone wanted to see it WITH a light.


  Glad you like it.  Canton Red.

Hi John

Apologies for the delay in replying, yes I did thoroughly enjoy looking at your pictures. Only thing is, my youngest is now trying to convince me to move to Pennsylvania. She'd be knocking on your door, wanting to help clean & polish them

 

[nazard]

Wow... John, is this the red one we recently saw on Ebay? (on the left with the white bag)
If yes, the price was too expensive for me.
Glad you have this model, it is really nice.
