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

[gottahaveahoove]

I am , at last,  getting things ready for the "gallery".  Lots of carpentry, etc  needed. But,  it's making me "organize" everything. 


  So,  would you like to see some of my stuff?  I might show pics of "groups"... so as not to stretch the post on and on.  Unless you'd like "individuals"?  I'll also post, if you'd like,  the non-floor care stuff,  including toys,  memerobilia....

 

[bagintheback]

Yes Please!

I'd love to see some group shots. Not everyone has such a diverse collection of Hoovers. Anything Hoover will do.  I can only imagine what they would look like together. Please keep us updated.

I'd like to see the toys and memerobilia.... It might be easier to put up group shots and we can ask for individual shots of our favorites. One of the best parts of Vacuumland is sharing pictures with others.

Tap tap.....

Waiting.....

 

[hooverboy81]

Of course!!!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

OK, then!

I have existing pics,  but I might take better "fresh" ones.  There are a few things arriving shortly as well.  The memorabilia is vey nice... some things I'd never seen before.  Perhaps they'll be new to you too.


    Get ready,  Mr. Demille..... closeups soon to arrive!


 Thanks for your interest.

John!

I am awaiting with bated breath!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

OKAY.............

These are not in a certain "order"... just the way I photographed them.  Here are a few to get us started. It IS amazing when you "catalog" everything,  which is what I'm doing. Hope you enjoy!


  How about a pair of 65s?  The gold "anniversary" and the first "Convertible".  There is another of each one here in the house.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

How about matching

"RANGERS"?  There's at least one more blue one here plus a few other colors . We'll get to them later.  These are pristine!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

A pair of NEVER USED

100th Anniversary Windtunnels.


  There is another blue one somewhere here.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

A pair of FLOORMATES!

The one on our left has been used... need a new squegee.  The one on our right was assembled for photo.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

A few more will follow later tonight.

Here's a magnificent"CONCEPT ONE".


 

 

[fantomfan]

Love it!

And I LOVE your hall and bathroom, specifically the wood moldings and tile floor! Those Windtunnels are great machines. I'm glad TTI kept those around.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Thanks, Mitchell!

I'll try to post better pic of that bathroom and the hall, too,  if you'd like.  There's a long story about BOTH.


  Here's a great upright.... a gift from Rob Shore, A.K.A.. "Zippy".  ANOTHER long story... another time.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

And, another gift from Matt Geda

Powerful machine!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Little "teaser".......

 


A class photo...More of these in better detail later.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

And, Mitchell,

Here's a better glimpse of that bathroom.


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'm very pleased with the way

it turned out.


  Now,  we return to the vacuums.....

 

[gottahaveahoove]

A beautiful

Convertible, model 67.  I have my late mother's, too.  THAT one saw better days.


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Here it is

next to a nice Commercial.

 

[fantomfan]

Wow! Just as beautiful as the Hoovers!

I used to have that Powerdrive- great, sturdy machine.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I have several powerdrives!!

They are amazing machines. They have been called... the Dial A Matics with everything corrected. I'll post some more very shortly. Glad you're enjoying them so far.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Here's my favorite 69

I'll show them all together soon.  Killer headache at the moment. 


 Enjoy!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

One more before bed.

How about the"Lark"and aVERY rare Handivac!I recently got this at my minimeet in January.Tres Fabu!

I love the stick vacs

Fantastic collection, the line-up on the stairs is impressive.
But I love the stick vacs most, the were sold here as well as "Hooverette".
How does the nozzle mechanism work? Ever wondered about these twin toggle pedals there.
Thanks for posting, keep them coming!

John, your home and collection look amazing and stunning. There is a lot of hard work there.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Thank you, VERY much!

I appreciate the comments a lot.


  In regard to the "pedals":  You push the brushe us and lock it "up" there with the pedal.  When you "shift the pedal" the other way,  it drops the brush back into use.  It's for carpet AND bare floor surface.


  Here's a "coffee can"... belonged to the great Terry Lattz!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Here are 3 more favorites:

They are as mint as you can get other than NIB!  My perfect Dial-A-Matic.... a gift from a family friend.
