Very  nice!


 


I'd be inclined to swap the cords on them: The gray cord with red plugs is original. The red cord would nicely match the red trim on the one with the tan bag.

Yes I agree. I have a lot of vacuums I just look at and say "Man I can't believe I have this".

 

[human]

Yeah, and sometimes I look at mine and think 'dang, why do I have so many?'

Same with me-more are on the way. Since the fire my vacuum collection is growing. The vac shop here found a metal commercial Royal for me. Now in my collection. Was bought in Indianapolis, Indiana. Has the dealer paperwork someone traded it in after replacing their carpet with laminate flooring.

Rex,

How old is that particular Royal? Would it be anything like these from this 1986 brochure?

Nice work on those Kirbys, Dwayne; you have reason to be proud of their restored condition inside and out.

Yes

One vacuum leads to like 50 because we're vacaholics. I sell 1 buy 2.
