Hoover 29 & 63
I know that the 63 added the wrap around furniture guard and the paper bag insert--but my question is: Are there differences in the motors and overall design of the Hoovers 29 & 63?

Ready for just a few more?
I just restored my 68. I know it's not the "original" bag, but, it IS a genuine replacement. Runs like a dream

Recently got this DECADE 80
I have its matching Celebrity. This was a must have.

The other 2 are recent arrivals as well.
I now have 3 "Victorian Rose" Convertibles: 2 have original bags.
Gotta love 'em! More pics soon. A lot has been happening lately.

Oh, Janine,
So sorry to not have answered your motor question.
Yes, the motors are all the same. Sometimes the bumper guard was half, other models were wrap around.
It was the same way with the Convertibles: one model had no light, no handle grip, half a bumper, snap bag. But, the HOOVER motor was the same. They used to call these the Convertible "Special".
The Handisac vacuum "family" all had the same motors as well.
I hope this answers your question. Again, sorry for gertting back to you so late.

Thank you, very much!
I must get back to posting more photos as promised. I'm having trouble loading pics from mu digital camera. It's the same one I always used. Not sure how to remedy that.
But, lots more pics on the way if/when I straighten it all out.

And............................. This week, I THINK
the carpenter is coming to look at the wiring and plumbing that has to be done it 'the room' so I can get in there and do my work. One more wall has to come down, after the wires come out. It will become a "loft". Track lighting is going in as well. Not sure how I'll cover the floor. Choices, choices....

That sounds like it's going to me really nice. One day, if I get my own house, I'd love to have a room for just my fans and vacuums, with displays, lighting, etc. For now I have to make due with keeping it all in the bedroom and arranging it as well as I can. At least I have a big bedroom and walk in closet.

Hi John....
Wow what a collection!! Really enjoyed going through all the posts and pictures. My grandmother had a Hoover Holiday. As a kid I never understood why the Holiday badge was displayed dominetly versus Hoover. I always wondered what brand the machine was until I saw the word Hoover on the spec plate I believe under the machine. Always baffled me. If I read properly, I also think the history on your home is very cool. You must have some amazing memories! Nothing beats that! Hope all is well! Best! Richard.

Hi Gang!
With the inability to "hunt" treasures, I thought I'd re-share some of my collection. Some may never have seen them.
Now that I'm home, I'm up in that room, getting things ready for the carpenter to come, do his thing, so I can finally get this room "up and running".
So, enjoy, if you'd like.

EARLY HOOVERS
GOOD HEAVENS - WHAT A COLLECTION!
All Hail from Land's End in the UK!
I joined your sister site when re-building an English Electric Tumble Dryer of 1961 - I must say, I think you Hoover lads are even more obsessional - - !!
I joined here because I seem to have aquired 6 Hoovers 3 pre-war and 3 up to the 50's. I wondered if anyone has a source of original bags for the bean-cans and the pre-war 375. Also a bag for a 119? Also need a front brush for an original Dustette? Also a source of rubber-ware - for the Hoovers - not me!!
Anyone able to date early Hoovers, please?
Best wishes,
Kenneth.

Kenneth,
thank you. Joe resurrected this old thread. I'm working on a 'gallery' in my house. It's a lot of work. It involves, electrical and plumbing work. Next June, I'm hosting The VCCC convention in Scranton. I have a lot to do to get things ready.
Glad you enjoyed the pics.
Joe, I'm not sure where everything is going to fit. But, it will!
