The lady in the pic is Victoria the vac shop owners grand daughter.
Shaylee was so disappointed that she had to work all weekend and couldn't dig with us. Victoria has contacted us and asked if we can assist her with going through all the rest of it and help her sell it all.

 

[kloveland]

Victoria was nice and very pleasant and had a lot of stories about her grandfather and his dealings with people as a Kirby Salesman. I loved using the Regina Brush and Beat. Pretty powerful for such a small vac. I just wanted to post a full picture of the vacuum.

Looks like you guys had a great time! Old man Mr Kennedy appears to have been quite the character! Collecting vacuums and condom machines?!

By the way love the living room setup!

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Thanks, I'm very pleased with the living room. It's not quite finished yet. That carpet is new old stock from 1972!!!! An older lady still had it after all these years and gave it to me but I paid a good amount to have it laid lol

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Thank you Kenny, I don't know why the pics you sent only posed half size.

 

[vac-o-matic]

It looks like everyone had an awesome time! As you guys know, I'm not a digger, but could've stayed back with Sonya and Shaylee and whipped up some vittles!

After seeing the living room, Phil, you can be my interior decorator any time


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

looks like y'all

had a great time. The place looks great, Phillip. And, who is that handsome Corey?

 

[portable]

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Wow, this sure looks like a lot of fun. What an adventure. I bet there are more treasures to be had in that place.</span>

Update

Victoria messaged me yesterday to tell me she found 2 more smaller buildings absolutely FULL of more vacuums.


John That is a collector from Wichita. I met him this past Spring. He's a great guy. He is on vacuumland but I forget what his user name is. I think it has Electrolux in it. I'll find it and post.

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Corey is electroluxman1

 

[swivelsean]

So many handsome men, just who will I have BBQ with?

Phillip,
Greetings from Tokyo...or at least the end of the runway in Nartta, Japan. It looks like everyone had a great time. It was kismet or good karma that determined the vacuum shop be open and available that day! Sorry I couldn't make it, I would have loved to get my 'dig' on.
Best to you and Shaylee,
Sean
P.S. In the pic where everyone is standing in the dumpster, what kind of hoses are close to Will's feet...enquiring minds want to know! A gentleman can't have too many...hoses!

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Sean,
I can't tell from the pic but I vaguely remember it as I picked it up and looked at it. It's either a GE or Eureka. Seems it was missing the hose end.

That green hose n the pic I should have grabbed as it's rare. It was a Bison hose and I forgot to save it.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

well, very nice machines..........

plus, that Corey. Hope I didn't embarrass anyone, including myself.
But.... mm,mm,mm!

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Kenny, are you ready for another quote un quote "shit show?"
You know this is going to forever be our terms for vacuum digs now, right?

This is what Victoria kept calling it. She said welcome to the shit show then wanna go to pops house for shit show #2 lol Now that she has found 2 more buildings full it will be show #3

 

[kloveland]

Yes,

I am ready for s**t show number 3. That was quite an unforgettable night! Not just the vacuums but the company. Victoria was eating it up as well. Remember that AF cord winder? She thought it was so cool that the cord winder was from 1957. I was like big deal. I have two of them, lol! She was so taken back by our interest in vintage vacuum cleaners she was googling them from her phone.

We made her day as much as she made ours. I can’t wait to see what is behind door #3. Oh, the adventures we get into together!

Sean, you can take all of us to the barbecue! Oh fiddle dee dee, decisions, decisions. You are in the same position as Scarlett however you don’t have to choose. And if you cook, we will never go hungry again!

 

[electroluxman1]

Phillip, I had a great time! That house was a eye opening experience. Nothing like I had experienced before. I hope we can get together soon and do it again.

 

[electroluxman1]

Phillip, Victoria found more buildings and more vacuums?? Are you going to go look at them?

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Yes, I just need to organize a time with her between now an Oct. when she plans to have a huge sale.
