artwork

I made a couple of strange and/or works of art myself(even made one I could wear on my back out of a Commander by adding an old metal back pack frame!)

Cool!

Looks like something straight out of ghost busters! One of my favorite movies!

I see a transponder for a satellite dish!!!!


I love these contests where I win a Vintage Jason Upright vacuum for having the first correct answer!!!!!


YAY!!!!!!

You can ship it when ever you're ready......no super hurry.

 

[brandon_w_t]

Well the yellow and black box is Obviously the Ghost trap.


That is really an ingenious creation! My little brother was Venkman one year for Halloween.

I was thinking of getting a Kenmore commander from a local vacuum shop, however I realized it would probably be too heavy and large for him to carry. So I made the box using some UPS box, painting it, and sticking a kirby hose out the side. Was really cute!
My mom had sewn an entire one piece uniform for him too, with little patches and stuff from ebay.

Hey I found this and thought I'd show it off

Commander

I DO HOPE that wasn't made into "art:..I have been looking for that one for years, It is indeed a Kenmore, But the first ones were called Commander Imperials, the Kenmore name was not on them, the detachable cord dates it to just before WW2 I believe, of course a Birtman product, This one is hard to find!!!

I got a bit of new stuff and old stuff since I was last here.

LOL that's right! Thanks for helping me remember that one. I haven't seen that clip since I have become a Kirby fan. Takes on a whole new meaning and significance now! LOL

 

[johnnyb59c]

hello and happy new year. I have some new news

hello. I have some new news since the last time. Should I add to this page or start a new page? I haven't gotten my pictures moved over to my new computer yet.

have you seen Ant Man yet? It has a scene of him getting vacuumed up in a Kirby Classic Omega(being the size of an ant it was a pretty good scene)

 

[charleskirby66]

Johnny

Woah!  No I hadn't, but I just checked it out on YouTube.



Being an avid Kirby fan, I found issue with this scene.


 


To start, assuming proper Toe-Touch height adjustment, that Lego block couldn't get into the nozzle without the woman tilting the nozzle over to suck it up, which she did not do.


 


Next, the fans for Kirbys are direct-air impellers, not fans behind screens as shown in the scene.


 


Finally, Kirby never had a "Bag Full" indicator light.  At least, not to the best of my knowledge.



Oh, Hollywood... how you have tainted the image of Kirby.  LOL

Charles

it's the only vacuum scene in the movie but it is a good movie. It was on my bro's Christmas list so I got it for him. Awesome movie. Christmas Day night he insisted that we all sit down and watch it(I hadn't seen it til then.)

 

[johnnyb59c]

Been working on my new shop

since its cooler but not TOO cold I've been working out there- and trying to discover some of my stuff I haven't seen in awhile. If anyone cares to see more pics of it and/or closeups let me know

 

[vacerator]

Jason,

very Nice indeed! Now that was an education.
Nice workshop also which explains the pristine stately house.
You live near Bartlesville where Ree Drumond, Pioneer woman on food network is from.

Royal 239

I've noticed that the model number on the Royal Jason says 239. It looks similar to the 215, but not much info seems to exist for the 239.

The most recent patent on the plate listed is 2,259,855, which was filed on September 10, 1938 and issued on October 21, 1941, which means I was not too far off regarding when exactly this had been made.
