Kenmore Imperial Bugeye Score!

[bvac6]

I cannot believe I got this! It seems to be completely original, it even still had one of the bag slide rubber protectors on it! It runs but the bearings are dry. I was amazed that both of the headlights came on and both of the lenses are intact!

Wow wow wow! What a haul! You definitely can not find these that easily anymore! Mid 2000's they were a dime a dozen on eBay, now they are just totally wiped out.

I always thought they looked more like maybe a mantis, or a frog lol .

Dang

That's in great shape and nice score.
What is the handle made of?

with as dusty as it is, looks like you had a hell of a find at an estate sale?

congrats!!

Robert,

WOW!! What a wonderful find indeed! To find one complete is amazing. I would love to find a handle grip for mine, but there's not much chance of that happening. You have hit the vacuum lottery.
