Hoover 29 question....

[vacuumfreeeke]

Hey guys, I was watching an old Lucy episode, and there at the beginning, there is a great shot of her vacuuming with a Hoover 29. I have always adored I Love Lucy, and I would love to have the save vacuum she did, but I wonder how hard they are to find/how rare they are.... I couldn't find any on Ebay. I had to get rid of my Hoover 28 a few months ago when my Oreck fell from wall and smashed it to bits, so now I don't have any old Hoovers. I love the way the bag ballooned and the purr of the motor was just great.

Anyone know anything about the Hoover model 29? I'm not too familiar with it.

Thanks )

I'll link to the episode below so you can see what I am talking about.

I think that was one of those episodes where Hoover was the sponsor and they went out of their way to showcase a Hoover product. That opening sequence goes so out of it's way to focus on the Hoover and also the set of tools that were on the sofa. As most of us know that hone in on any vacuum in any old movie or TV show, they rarely give such a great view of it in use.

Sorry I don't know more about how or where to find a 29. You might have to settle for a 63 which seem at least a little more plentiful than the 29s which I've never actually seen up close.
