I think I have my collection honed down to a nice representative level "I Think!"

16 Pictured vacs from my Grand Mothers 516 Kirby
to my Riccar i just got from KK.

Not pictured is my Oreck XL (stays in my office at work)
Also not pictured, I have a matching Concept 2 that's in "process"

Thoughts?

Ver nice array, larryeddy

It would be great if you could rig up
a strong shelf above the back row's handles
to put the front row vacs on.
That way every unit could be clearly seen.

Amazing collection I must say ! The Kirby’s in my opinion really out shine them all ! Literally !

Impressive!

They look like they're all in great condition. A nice "array"

Thanks Guys!

I would like to a shelf above but this is just an apartment, ill wait until i buy a house to do major construction!

And the 2 Kirby's and the Royal were all restored by Chicago Mikey!

He does such an awesome job!

Thanks again guys!

Excellent collection!

I especially like your Hoover "Decade" lineup in the front. I'd say the dust cup model is the star of the show.

I, too, try to keep a relatively small and well-maintained "representative" collection of the machines I like. Based on the machines you posted, I'd say we have similar taste, too: direct-air uprights.

I will never

Get my collection pared down to a manageable level,I need to count but I would guess the vacuums alone are near at least 750 or 800, maybe more....

Milk crates and some length of board. I think that would be a good, cheap no-damage way to display the back row.

In my zeal..

I forgot to mention JAE in my original post about the restored Gold and White Eureka! He restored it like new shape for me and its awesome!
