Looking to unload a significant portion of collection

[kirbyduh]

With shifting priorities in life and little lime to pursue the hobbies of yore, I am looking to sell several machines to a good collector home. I would love for someone to come and buy most of it, but I may consider shipping in the future depending on the circumstance. I know there’s some good stuff here that I will want fair prices for, but there is more that I would be willing to let go for a little of nothing if someone can come and take a lot. I’ve included pictures sampling some of the highlights of what I’d like to part with. If anyone has interest, please email me at the address in my profile. At this time, I will give preference to anyone who is willing to come and take multiple machines.

508

You have a 508 box a 508 cord. You have a belt lifter and a nozzle but not sure it's correct. The 508 nozzle is wearing a sanitronic bag. The original Kirby bag you have the cream colored bag looks more 510 than 508 and the 510 nozzle looks correct. The black handle isn't a 508 as it was gray. The 509 had a black foam handle I believe 510 511 and 512 had grey handles. Is this a 509 black handle or is it a 505 black handle?.
I have a 505 all original it has black belt cap. I have a 508 all original except a bag and a 509 all original except the bag and a 510 all original except bag and cord. I also have a 3c with a 505 1960s cast nozzle. It's also missing it's emtor. The vacuum motor is only original part.
You have a nice collection and good taste in vacuums. I wish you luck in your quest.
