Jamie,
You'd be most welcome here.
You'd be most welcome here.
And, you could see and enjoy all the vacuums you'd like
Of couerse, there are only real "Hoover" hoovers, no other brands. Is that ok with you?

Jamie,
The only heater I have is the one in the pic. I have a NIB air purifier, and some other filter still in the box. Pics to follow.

Damien,
Yes, the generic bags will fit. Almost any shakeout bag will. All you'd have to do is change the ring and the bag is good to go.

Tom "A". pointed out to me that a lot of my
polishers were made in the 50s...even the 28 was continued.....was then used as a "commercial" upright vacuum.
I'll get them all out as well as the other uprights of the fifties.
I'm glad you're enjoying this sentimental journey through the world of Hoover.
Of course, it's all I have and all I care to collect.
Some like a bigger variety. To me: there is a ton of variety right here within the realm of all these HOOVERS. [this post was last edited: 5/11/2015-15:07]

I agree completely. You should collect what you like. You're the one who has to live with your collection. There are a lot of vacuums that I like that I will never collect. I'm content seeing other's collections virtually. Certainly those of you who have mini-meets get the benefit of testing out others toys without having to own them.
As with every collection.......................
We are the ones who like them, buy them, trade them, repair them (or have them repaired), gift them, sell them, trade them, etc.
And, if we're so inclined, we host gatherings, "mini meets". We are the ones who invite, or not people we want to welcome into our homes. I've welcomed people with other vacuum makers into my home numerous times. I will continue to do so. Many come again and again. Some will not return. I've made some very loyal friends in here. Some demonstrate their loyalty over and over. Some do not, sadly. Loyalty to a friend, a manufacturer, is paramount. Don't you think?

So sorry,
that green upright is the HOOVER is model 364, not the 64. I knew that when I posted it. Mind lapse there.

Your 634 is stunning, John! I'm jealous!
The last one I need to complete my sixty series collection!

It was the one that completed mine as well. Yes, Tom A. reminded me of the correct model of it. It's easy to getthem all confused. Some get the 1060 mixed up with the 1076, for example. The hood might be close, but, it is clearly not the same machine. Both will show up soon here. maybe even side by side to compare and contrast. I also plan to show the tools for many of these machines, again, to see the front, rear and side conversions. John.

Hooverboy81 - actually I appreciate Dysonman1's correction. Dysonman1 is a renowned vacuum expert and vacuum museum curator, and the fact that he's reading and correcting it is a sign of the quality of this thread. (If it was a sad and pathetic thread, it wouldn't be worth correcting).
John has an excellent collection, and this is a great thread. Every comment/correction helps push it to the top where it's easier to find and read.

Pretty sure John has his Hoover info straight. A transposed model number isn't a big deal, as we all knew what model it was. The transparency of some people's comments are quite amusing.

A Citation
Obviously not the original bag, but................
I also have it's matching hand-held "Pixie", given to me personally by Ann Haines.

That's a beautiful Citation John, and it looks great with the Pixie (or Dustette, as it was marketed in the UK!).
It is interesting that the HOOVER lettering is on the hood above the Hedlite, rather than below it as in the 612, I always thought it looked better below as it was thereby illuminated when in use.

I agree.
But, soon, you'll see "Convertible" printed on the lens... I thought that was gorgeous. It arrived on the 69 first. THOSE pics will appear soon.
At the moment, I'm in King of Prussia, all weekend, judging a HUGE talent scholarship competition. I just finished for the night and slipped into the corporate center to gain access to a computer. I just wanted to see what's going on in here. Busy day here tomorrow. Talk soon.

We had the "Dustette", too. It's printed on the
bag. Later, they were known as the 'Pixie'. But, then, "Pixie" was used for the "handivac' without the handle.
Another example of multi-useage was the 'Lark'. It was the little 'Kirby-like' lightweight upright. I have the blue one. I won the maroon one years ago, paid w/ a $$ oreder, NEVER got the vac. This was before I knew about Paypal, and had NEVER had a problem w/ a seller before. I never got the machine. Someday, perhaps....isn't that part of the fun of all of this?
It ALSO was the 'stickvac'. Lots of different names, same great HOOVER quality.

Regarding the Hoover Rotisserie oven (Reply 161) - what are those blue lights inside the oven? Or is it an optical illusion?
Those blue lights are just from the flash.
I doubt that appliance was ever used. The glass window has a little white design on it...almost like a bow tie. I took that pic up in the cats' apartment, future home of the "gallery".
Now that the convention is over, I must get back to posting more photos/.
