I went traipsing off to the thrift stores south of me this morning, and determined that I will be writing a scathing letter to the Hometown News about the anal retentive thrift store volunteers. That's actually beside the point. Not finding anything in four of the usual locations except a very late Lux tank with a powerhead and some previous Luxes tools included for $45.00 at the Community Church Thrift Shop in Jensen Beach. Not for that price. Same place with the $45 Concept I and $45 Mixmasters. They're like family to me now-but anyway, in my trip to Hibiscus House in north Stuart, I ran into some old bags in the back. How fortunate, but at $3.00 a pack? Belts $1.00 for two, ok. Too bad there isn't a vacuum here today. I turned around and saw this baby, half rolled under a desk. It needs a good dusting and bath, and the aluminum zipper needs some attention. The bottom half of the paper bag is packed with who-knows-what. I will try to graphite the zip, because the bag is fine otherwise. I wanted this design since I started collecting, and here it is! It has that tacky stick on Hoover logo, and it must have been stored in the damp because the underpinnings have a film of rust.
