Looks like so much fun! Wish I was closer and could see all those machines. There were not a lot of Hoovers in my family growing up.

You two look like you always have a blast when you get together. I would love to do something like this.
It was a fun time, indeed.
It's always nice to have vac friends over to break bread, and enjoy the vacuums. Matt is a good sport, too.

And, as far as those 'basements'...
I have to /need to reorganize things in them. EVERYTHING was disturbed in all 4 of them when the wiring was changed as well as all of the sewer pipes. Cracks were discovered in them. It was ALL replaced with PVC. The price you pay to live in a very old house.

You have 4 Basements?
That's quite interesting!
They're certainly not on top of one another, Are they?
How does that work out?
I thought it was crazy when I saw that vacuum shop and it's Sub-Basement of Pre-War glory!

No, they're not "stacked".
Although the big one has a chamber below it... with a steel trap door.
2 are connected, the other 2 are connected. You can't get through all 4 together. It IS a bit strange. They all had "the bodies' in them at one time.

Matt took a pic
of a bunch of non-floor HOOVER appliances. Perhaps he'll post it.

Well, an Electrolux is going to Rick B. in
California. You WILL find: a Westinghouse, electrolux gold floor polisher/shampooer, 3 Kirbys, 2 Orecks, a FliterQueen, a Premier hand vac as well as a Royal Prince. These "cellar dwellers" are going, along w/ several HOOVERS that are not part of "the collection".
As far as the "bodies"...... can't guarantee that they are all really gone. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

The others
Thanks, Matt
We just rounded up a few of the 'table appliances". There's a rotisserie, toaster/broiler oven, waffle baker, can openers, heater, mixers, electric knives,fans, kettle, coffee pots, to name a few. A very LOYAL house of HOOVER, indeed.

hans, all of hoover's smalls except thier washers were made by other companies, blenders by oster and waring, mixers by GE or sunbeam, toasters by toastmaster, and coffee pots by procter silex. hoover was just the "private label" or exclusive to hoover
Well, mostly.
Knapp-Monarch made a lot, too. One odf their irons was exclusively made BY them. Mr. Dick Pike also told that, for example, the h eater was made "outside" until towards the end . Then some stuff was made right there on Maple Street.

At one time, HOOVER'S plan was to
make ALL types of appliances, thus, being the King of appliances. Later, they got rid of Knapp-Monarch and concentrated on floor care only. There was talk of taking over G.E. Imagine what would have happened.

EVERYONE knows why nobody's allowed past the stairs,
For past the vaulted door to Basement #4, Deep below the House of many Hoovers,
Lays John's Top-Secret collection of KIRBYS. Every last model, All polished out to a shine!
If you sneak up to his house some nights, You'll see him polishing out the Kitchen floors with the 562,
Or Shampooing the sitting room with the Dual-Sanitronic 80 (Boy, Doesn't that DS-80 remind you of the 1070, Hmmm, John?)
(Runs for the hills in a DeSoto)

I'll field this one for John........RUN....FAST.
ALEX....May I call you Alex??
You'll NEVER run fast enough, lol.
They remind me of SOMETHING, but NOT a 1070. I always liked the 1070, now, I have 5. I won't be keeping them all, however. More cellar dwellers are being readied for sale. I also have to send a few hoods out to people, as well.
It's nice to purge things, isn't it?
It's also great to see things go to people who really need/want/like them. I'm thrilled that Rick got that Electrolux 30...J? I'm not sure. I know there is a power nozzle ready to go as well.
Making room, clearing out, gifting, it's all good.
