Thanks, Walter!

Everybody is surprised by that tub. They go nuts upon seeing it.  One nice thing,  it is easy to clean.   I'll post better detailed pics of it,  if you'd like. It is a full-sized bathtub and shower.  It's porcelain covered cast iron. That pic was taken the day it was reinstalled.  The faucette trim was not complete yet.


  It is made by Kohler... "Mayflower".  You MUST order the drain, etc from them, as, NOTHING else will fit it. Kohler and "American Standard"  would be on a level with your "Armitage Shanks",  I believe.  These two makers are considered "the best of the best".  There's a long story behind this tub/shower.

Hi john

The tile work in your bathroom is beautiful. My question for you is about the prized 1076. I don't know much about the old hoovers. Was there something about the 1076 that sets it apart from the others. It is a sweet lookin machine. Also what did that machine retail for back in the day.

Thanks, Alphonse.

That cleaner was the top of the line at the time. It boasted the large headlight, air channels on the nozzle (not that great), handle grip, 4 position height adjustment (had recently come out on other models), 2 speed motor.


  It sold for $84.00 without tools.  I got mine (floor model, no box) for $59.00   (63.00 w/ tax). I got the last one at Jewlcor on July 15, 1975. This vacuum has received excellent service,  first in Wilkes Barre,  then in Scranton.  It was the daily driver for about 20 years!!  It has cleaned an 11 room house faithfully.  And,  it is STILL in this perfect condition!!

Wow! 941 views in 4 days.

But,  who's counting?  Trust me,  there Are people who count everything.  Who knew my collection would draw this interest?!


I'm truly glad,  and amazed that y'all are enjoying it.


  As the prostitute said to the Navy,"There's more where that came from"!


  More pics in a bit.  I'm sure you're all dying eggs........ or perhaps,  running your favorite HOOVER.
 
Thanks!

That green one is perfect.  One sounds rough,  the other was very well-used.


  I think that Concept was NEVER used.... not a mark on it anywhere.


  Ready for more?


 How about a few "teasers"? 


  Then,  let's peek into the "basement". This is where the bodies are.


 Firs, down the staicase,  you'll find a little bit of my cleaning supplies.
