A very common vac(because it was so good)that you often find.In very UNCOMMON condition that you NEVER find them in!!!Stunning!!!Probably should not be described as 'as good'as leaving factory.Is probably BETTER!!!Just think-On the assembly line workers spent minutes with a Hoover.You have spent hours!Wow!!!

Anyone who has seen Marty's collection, or may have purchased a vacuum from him, knows how meticulous he is with restorations. Indeed they are probably BTN(better than new). Whoever wins the auction will have a real jewel in their collection!

Gosh, you guys!

I'm so pleased you like my work. Praise from seasoned collectors such as yourselves really carries some weight.

I'm blushing.

Thanks and looking forward to seeing everybody in Milwaukee!

If I lived closer I'd bring my Hoover Model 68 to your "spa" for a beauty refresher. Scored it a couple of years ago at an estate sale for $5.00. Wish I had the attachments to go with it.

MARTY ITS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT I AM GOING TO BID ON IT RIGHT NOW

 

[marukap]

Shameless Bump . . .

Two hours 10 minutes to go!

I wonder who won this beautiful machine? I would have loved to have it, but I'm saving for a new apartment.

 

[nycwriter]

At the last minute ...

... I backed out of bidding.

Yes, I know it would have been a one-in-a-million chance of owning something like this, but I just don't have the room.

Smallish Manhattan apartment = Must. Practice. Restraint.

At least until I build my second home in Pittsburgh!

 

[nubz3760]

agreed. I knew I'd never find another one in that condition. but I dont have the room either, I alllmost bought it
