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

[jmurray01]

Apologies if you have already posted and I've missed it, but do you have any Hoover fan heaters John?


 


I am bidding on a red one on eBay at the moment that I hope to win.  It is a little rectangular "box" heater that you would put on a desktop.  The model is 8582.

Jamie!

Yes, I do. That was planned next up on my list of fab photos. I'll try to do that tonight, along with a nice toaster oven.

How about that nice U4393 Convertible? It was my childhood Convertible

btw, I just got a 1076 Convertible!

 

[jmurray01]

Fantastic - can't wait to see the photos!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Everyone must have at least ONE

1076. I have 3. One, of course, you've all seen, is the cherished one, bought in 1975.
More pics later tonight. It's been hectic around here. I've been coming home from school so very tired.
But, not to worry: there are at least 60 more pics I can think of right off the top of my head. Glad you're enjoying them. It is 'fun' to get them all out and photograph and post them.
John.

Please don't feel obliged to post the photos on here straight away - take time to rest! I know all too well what tiredness and stress can do and it isn't pleasant, you need to switch off from time to time.

Correction

Mine's a 1060 NOT a 1076

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Well,

who wouldn't want a nice 1060.... or 2?


  That cleaner is coming up later in here.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

But now.................

Jamie,  may I call you Jamie?


  Look at what else I literally "discoverd" in a spare bedroom?


 Another can opener.  I KNOW there's another somewhere.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I vacuumed "that staircase" this morning and figure

Why not use it as a backdrop?  SO MUCH is tied to that staircase... another time..


  So,  how about a nice HOOVER slim toaster?


 There is another model of this which I do not have.... yet.

[gottahaveahoove]

Brave little toaster?

No.  But,  perhaps a little toaster oven? I doubt,  from the inside,  that this thing was ever used at all.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Oddly, on the top left rear corner is something

inscribed with a dremmel.


  I have to look closer.  I'm not sure why anyone would do that.  SOMETIMES, it would be inscribed that way in the "Models and Samples" room.... commonly referred to as the "Vault".  Wouldn't it be "fun" to discover that this is the "vault" machine?


  We'll see.  I'll look into this deeper at a later time.

A tinly little "lineup"

With that red staircase as a backdrop.  Vacuumed that thing with three different HOOVERS today.


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Going to clean at my aunt's today.

Here's the 2nd "Steamvac Portable". A great little machine.... resembles Miss Connie Hoover a little.  I have both colors.


  To quote the great Late Jackie Kennedy, on a shopping trip, "I'll take this in every color".


  But,  could you PICTURE the great Jacqueline using an appliance??!!??!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

And, here's the 2nd Floormate., next to it's sibling

 


NEVER used, it was in the store...no tag.I asked "Armmand" the price.  Armmand repied,  "How's $18.00"?  And,   here it is!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Coming next.....................

Finally,a visit to the"Fabulous Fifties".

Finally,a visit to the"Fabulous Fifties".

Can't wait, look forward to seeing more!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Before the

day is over.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Well, sorry for the delay.

Here is that HOOVER heater, circa 1960.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

A few vacuums from the 50s

There are more,  and, they'll appear ver shortly.  I have the entire "set" of these from that decade. 


  How about a nice 29,  replacement bag, of course.  I believe there's another 29  here in one of the spare rooms.
