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

[gottahaveahoove]

And, a beautiful 64

original bag.

The 1950s polishers, Connies and the other uprights

will debut soon.


How about a few of the "new lineup" cleaners.
The cordless stickvac..

The Platinum

upright.

I have a generic shake out bag on for my Hoover 61 and both my 63s were they available for the 61 for commercial service as I understand via service manual from 1953 there were available for commercial service for the the 63.


Thank you very much for your input

Love to time travel with your toys on display John, so so happy you have held on to so much and have the room to! A bit of history is always good to be able to see!

That heater is gorgeous John!!  Do you have any "portable" heaters like the one I posted about in the Household forum yesterday?

 

[suckolux]

Would be so FUN to be a fly on the wall when you discover and unearth more!

 

[jmurray01]

Indeed it would David.


 


One day I would like to, if John would let me, visit his house and see all his wonderful HOOVER appliances in their "natural habitat"!

Jamie,

You'd be most welcome here.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

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?

 

[gottahaveahoove]

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.

 

[jmurray01]

"there are only real "Hoover" hoovers, no other

Sounds good to me!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

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.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

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?
