Incredible!
For being nearly ninety years old, that is in exceptional condition. Almost as if someone put it in a closet in 1930-something and forgot they had it!

I don't know for sure, but it looks like the one Kyle K. has - wonder if he's selling his?
One of the few direct air canisters out there.would like one of these-but not from EBay.The unit being sold looks nice,though.For something like this would like to see it in person and try it before pulling the trigger on it.Would be neat to put a new cord on it and get a bag assembly that could use disposable insert bags.You could keep the orig bag for show along with the orig tools-try to get new ones that could fit it if you want to use the vacuum-I would!!

It's well over $400 now. It should easily bring $1000. Miss P. with her unlimited pockets might grab it, who knows? Or, perhaps the Pennsylvania Kirby Lady - her husband is good for a grand any time she wants. I have other things to spend that kind of money on. Like a vacation in New Orleans for decadence.
Stan Kann had one, I used it a few times and can definitely say it was very underpowered. So was the Electrolux model 11 which was the Hoover's competition. It ultimately had LESS suction than a Hoover 700 because the bag was so small. When you took the bag off, it had a lot more power, but even that was limited by its 1.7 amp motor.

Even to still have the
box still intact like that. Very nice. If it's our Kyle, (some of you may remember Kyle...has a model O... was a member here as a very young boy),I hope he is pleased with the sale. He has quite a collection. If it's not "our Kyle", best of luck to him, as well.

Hoover duster bidding...
I have to say it's disappointing & sad; & yet not surprising, the way certain ones complain about the high prices paid for items (in this case, vintage vacuums) by others. ~lol~
Sounds & L@@Ks like jealousy to me. (imho) ~lol~
Especially when the complaining person is one of the very ones pushing up the price on the item(s)!!! ~lol~
I've seen this on numerous items on eBay.
In this case (this complainer) you're currently the second place bidder, driving up the price, at $400.00 (n***c). You were even the 1st to bid & start driving up the price; & you've now bid three (3) times on it so far. ~lol~
You also regularly complain about the (ONLY) Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club (VCCC), & how it's not the same & that you're not in it.
What you fail to ever mention, it that YOU WERE KICKED OUT OF THE VCCC!!!
And for what it's worth, I haven't seen any cliques (that you refer to) for years in the REAL VCCC!!!
I hope Kyle does well on the sale of this very unique item, though not my cup of tea, so-to-speak!!! ~lol~
Cheers & hagd/n all,
Bill

You must think I'm complaining. All that belching Kirby dust distorts one's mind.

I just love Fact's;they are so Factual!

There are lots of facts!
Here, in a public forum may not be the best place to divulge certain facts... about events that took place..... several years ago.
Numerous EBAY items are driven up, sometimes by the seller. Sometimes, others do drive the price up, insult other bidders,accuse people, who possibly have never ever met, of getting together to hurt another, etc.
A shame, really. But, to quote Mr. Johnny Matthis, "It's not for me to say".

And such ugliness as this
Is why I am NO LONGER a member of the VCCC, Back when Alex Tabor, Richard Klein and Tom were the presidents, we had none of this devicive hate filled jealous ranting, Face it boys, Tom is the only one who is the curator of a nationally known museum, We all know the ones who are jealous, I am very proud to call Tom my very good long time friend, he has been a friend over 25 years and has never turned his back on me yet!

How can you figure out who an eBay bidder is when their name is concealed??

Bill has impeccable records.
He is meticulous about keeping track of item sales, bidders, etc. He is in the vacuum business a long time, has bought and sold things, and knows fair trades as well as some less stellar dealings.
I'm not naming names here, nor will I in the future.

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have never known you to be or act anything but gentlemanly and your posts are always of interest; a great example and ostensibly the very "raison d'etre" for Vacuumland. But you seem to give a pass to, or support 'D -man' on his nasty and uncalled for comments such as above with their very unkind and inappropriate references to Mr Pupek and 'the Pennsylvania Kirby Lady.' There is never a need for, nor is this is the place to berate people. Yet it is those very comments and the ire they elicit that is exactly what often detracts from Vacuumland. It has nothing to do with a specific club; rather it is individuals acting poorly... <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Case in point.</span></span>
As an aside, and at least from a personal point of view, I can't see how anyone would NOT draw the conclusion of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">jealously</span> from those comments specifically posted and referred to by him in regard to winning the Hoover Duster. Just my thoughts

Im not getting
in a pissing contest with anyone, No one is perfect, we all have opinions, I deleted my posts because I was exhausted and on edge when I wrote them, we are moving in this god awful summer heat and im about dead....Now, Let me make it clear, Tom Gasko has been one of my very best friends for 25 years, He ,Charlie Lester, Roger Proehl, Billy Lippman,john Young,Clay Floyd,Jimmy Martin,David Watters ,Mike Pletcher and Mike Hays and of course Alex Tabor and John Lucia I met many many years ago, I met them personally in 1995 in Allentown Pa at Bob Kautzmans and Mike Pletchers at my first convention, I have never had any disagreement with any of them, we were like brothers in the old days, we ran up phone bills that were terrible, tom has treated me like a brother all these years, and I just will not turn my back on him just because a few don't like him.

Nor should you.
Your loyalty is beyond admirable.
I, too, know, and am fond of Billy, Mike Pletcher), Alex, (never met Charlie in person, but, we get along fine). And, John Lucia is one of the finest human beings to walk the planet. I do not know the others, some are actually deceased now. It is Mike Pletcher who introduced me to The VCCC. AND, if it weren't for John and Alex, none of anything would have existed. So, for that, I'm grateful. Sadly, there are other circumstances that would/could incriminate others.
