HOOVER 541 or earlier

[joeycharlton]

Hi there,
I am working on a mini series with the South Australian film corporation about world war one and i have searched high and low for a Hoover 541 or earlier model. I understand the hoover 541 is actually 1920's but it is so similar in appearance to earlier models, the only difference i can tell is a different coloured bag. It is to be used in a scene at Churchill's residence. I was wondering if there are any Australian members willing to hire or sell such a machine?
The ones on ebay do not ship internationally and the price of arranging our own shipping from the states looks to be about a thousand dollars.
Any leads or advice very much appreciated!
Many thanks,
Joey

Hello, you might check with Godfrey's Vacuum Cleaner Stores. I was in Sydney in 2008 for a centennial celebration of the Hoover Company. Godfrey's supplied a dozen or so vintage Hoovers that were put on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art as part of the festivities. I don't remember the name of the men from Godfrey's who were there, but perhaps a call to the Godfrey's agency nearest to Sydney with your query might be fruitful. Good luck,
