Hoover model 105 for sale

[packardmanken]

Found this Hoover in Washington DC on Craigslist. Located in Washington DC for only $50!! This was made from 1920 to 1923 according to eh Hoover emporium site.
Wish it was closer, but maybe a member can snap it up. Guess the Yankees got everything, cant find anything this cool in Atlanta!

Yes it is a 105,

but it is also a Model 105 Special. If you notice that in the name plate it states "Previous Model Reconstructed At The Hoover Factory". That means it was basically a factory refurb, and was then sold as a budget option along side maybe the 28 or the 61.  This one was rebuilt in the 28 era, like maybe late 40's or early 50's. To the point where it was rebuilt ti looks to be all original. But not all original to when it was new in the 20's. Still even for a special $50 is not bad...
