Kirby Vacuette

[powerglide]

I found this forum and thought you guys would get a kick out of my Great Grandmother's Kirby Vacuette. I have kept it for years in my 1920-30's kitchen. It still can be pumped up by pushing it and it roars and inflates the bag. I still have the bumper thing and a sales reciept and phamplet for it.

Very nice.

Hi, Very nice. You've done a good job of polishing it up.
It would be nice to see a photo of the original sale receipt.

Now that is...

...the best looking Wireless Vacuette I have ever seen! Do you have a video of it?

Thanks, I just use some brasso on it now and then to keep it polished up. I will have to look for the pamphlet and sales receipt sometime and take a pic of it. I don't have any videos of it. I might try to do that sometime for you guys.

Hey Doug,
I believe my Great Grand Parents paid $ 37.00 for it if I can remember. I have the bill of sale for it some damn placed stashed away. But I seem to remember 37 bucks for it.

Doug, I still have the 1930 GE Monitor top Refrigerator that my Grandparents bought and paid 300 bucks for, that was also a lot of Money! They thought they really came up in the world when they bought an electric Ice Box! Still have the papers on that one as well!

Doug, I totally agree with you, I kinda have a habit of keeping things that are vintage etc. Probably why I still have my 64 Chevelle (my first car) Still does what its suppose to do after all these years!
