You have far too many Hoovers to possibly choose from!! It would be nice to see them in year order, earliest at the bottom working their way up the stairs.
I couldn't possibly ask you to go to the trouble of mailing it out to me though, at least not without paying you something.

I agree about the colors, I bought my Mom a Hoover Convertible model 70 and the sharp blue color, which I now know is delft blue, is what caught my eye. It was the TOL with full wrap around bumper. At that time Eureka was still the color of a model 260, which they had for a long time. Eureka finally started making vacuums in different colors, but they never made as many colors as Hoover did back in the day.......

I can answer that.
Hoover wanted to become the home appliance King! Some of their items were made by others and rebadged HOOVER. Other appliances were made by THEM at the HOOVER factory. Some of the appliances were "ok".... they later sold the "appliance line".... forget the name they gave it at the time... Hesco comes to my mind. I'll check with Tom "Anderson" next time we talk.... very shortly. He'll know.
HOOVER decided, then, to concentrate on being the best in FLOORCARE. The also made a toothbrush.. Tom Anderson has one. The appliance that is eluding us is the popcorn popper. We KNOW they made one, but we can't find one.
Amazing, isn't it? All of it? I never dreamed I'd EVER own all of this stuff. But, I'm very happy to share it all with you.

Cheers to that Mike!
Really looking forward to seeing more of the collection!

Thanks, Mike.
The way his collection is displayed and documented, it COULD be considered a "museum" in itself. Fred Stachnick's and Robert's certainly could be. I've seen it, as have many others.
I'd say many of our collections could be considered one.... if you stretched it a bit.
I'm amazed everytime I unearth these things. I'm sure I'll be surprised even more as I "go through" more of it.

True. And, it is cleaned regularly.
I have had aome major renovations done at the house. Walls came down, holes were cut into ceilings to get to pipes, etc.
I took that pic in the midst of it all. There was dust EVERYWHERE! The first contractor took off with thousands of dollars, declared bankruptcy, foreclosed on his house, and moved to Ohio. It was a NIGHTMARE. 2 carpenters later, a lot of work was done. THere is still a lot left to do.
I'd NEVER send a picture of that anywhere, especially to a HOOVER collector from 'across the pond". Cleaning that hallway/staircase is like cleaning a room. But, it IS beautiful now that it is finished. Thanks.

Got home from school today with another killer headache.
However, I thought I'd take my mind off 'myself' and focus on some more Hoover products. I'm finishing up some more "settings". You know, 'presentation is everything".
