Here is the basic set of tools for a Lark. This is the short set but I have read where you could get a deluxe set. I have yet to find a nicer set. Heck, it is hard enough just to find the machine let alone a tool set for it. This was a very simple set of tools, just the bare essentials. The Lark was a good idea. Had it not been for the Lark, we may not have had the Convertible Special model 31!

Thanks for posting those pictures, Tom!
Your attachment set looks wonderful! Everything in such lovely condition. I'll be watching eBay for a set to go with mine, but somehow I think it'll be unlikely! For obvious reasons, I don't have any chance of coming across a set anywhere else over here.
What an interesting converter they have! I imagine the suction through the tools is quite good? The floor-suction on the Lark seems better than on a Junior, and the tool suction is quite good on those - better than on any of the post-war Senior models.

Lark 14
Jack -
I rented a house years ago. I had known the former (deceased) lady of the house. In the front closet was her pristine Model 14 with the tool set that Tom shows above. But, my roommate and I hated it because the darn bag was so hard to change. I remember that the local vac repair store was able to get me a Hoover switch plate cover in white, which I painted to the correct color. Apparently, they warped so frequently that Hoover made replacements available to buy. Nice looking machine, though. But not too well engineered.

Very nice, Jack! 
What a lovely design!
As you know, my knowledge of many Hoovers... well... sucks! LOL (How many of us say something like that that regularly?! )
However, I can appreciate it, and I can assure you I would pop over if I could (if invited beforehand of course!).
And hello, Mike! Sorry I’ve not spoken to you lately.
