Hoover 8951 blender in Almond or Harvest Gold

[texaskirbyguy]

Saw one of these at the local thrift store (Thrift city in Richardson, TX on Beltline rd)
It was I think 13 bucks but missing the jar lid (like most of their blenders). It was heavy with a chrome base, nice condition for its age. Looks like a late 60's model.
Any reason to get it? Not too useful without the jar lid.
Hope someone gets it if not me. I will be in the area Monday - I may consider...

If it's an Oster blender

you can use jar lids from other model years. I have blenders that span 30 years and can switch them out,no prob. Shouldn't be too hard to find a lid to work. I remember seeing new jars,lids, blades and jar gaskets in hardware and dept. stores. I'd consider buying it and bonus, I doubt there's any electronic boards to crap out like most new ones have!

The lids show up on eBay every now and again. You also might be able to find a universal fit lid as well. I've never seen a Hoover blender actually.

"--never seen a Hoover blender--"

You could see at least 3 here along with at least 4 Hoover fry pans & more(irons,etc).All need new homes by spring/summer.
