All that plastic...
...will still be around thousands of years from now.
I agree with your sentiment. Not much was interesting there, except maybe those Kirbys, especially that forlorn looking Legend II, but having too many Kirbys already, I would most likely have left them behind as well.

I made the decision a few years ago to take all the 'boneyard' machines in my vac shop to the dumpster. If new repair parts are not available, I'm not storing old vacs to take a used part off to fix someone's cleaner. I've sold a lot of new vacuums that way, plus I don't have to keep crap just in case I 'might' need it for a repair.
Look at all the supposedly 'high end' mieles in that pile Charles.

Man, that s a lot of machines!
I see a few Orecks. Even an Oreck canister. Those would have tempted me, just because. Of course, as I sit here writing this, I have three fairly recent Oreck upright acquisitions at arm's reach. But, I doubt that I need to explain the sickness to anyone here. LOL.
In picture 11, I think I see an (at least slightly) older Eureka upright, maybe missing its outer bag.
And, I might spy a little Panasonic canister, similar to the one that I recently messed up while trying to clean it up.
Were these all available? I'm sure I would have taken some home with me.

I wish I had that much space at my store.
Actually, I take that back. I'm glad I don't, because then it would look the same as this.
Now, to go back in time and see the boneyard in a vac shop from the fifties or sixties, THAT would be cool!
