Another rarity

A couple of months ago I posted pictures of one of my "holy grail" machines, the Electrolux manufactured Trident cannister. I remembered seeing this cleaner many centuries ago during my childhood. Well a couple of years ago at a mini meet ChesterMike produced another Trident, similar to the one I remembered but with a different colour scheme and handle. That was the only one of those I had ever seen till this one came up on ebay a coupe of weeks ago

hehe, I fitted a similar blue bag, like that on the Blue Goblin, to one of my Juniors, the only fifference is the zip is on the handle-side of the bag and it has a white State-the-obvious screen-printed logo, it's funny how they seemed to share a few similar parts, just looking at the bag hanger, that's identical (to my eyes) to the ones used on Hoover Juniors after the 1334... :)
 
It's the 60's Hotpoint that catches my fancy seconded by the Morphy Richards. I suppose it's because I'm of that age when the sleek contemporary Euro/Scandinavian design appliances were just beginning to make an appearance over here and almost instantly making anything else look somewhat dated. Try as they might to copy them and they did, the N.American manufacturers just couldn't seem to stop themselves from adding that extra button(s) or flourish to their lines of contemporary appliances. They just didn't "get it" right imho.
 
<span style="font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: small;">I really like that Trident. I wish they had put a headlight in it!</span>


<span style="font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: small;">You sure have some nice machines. Thanks for posting these.</span>
 
I think my favourites from this thread are the 262 - Fantastic looking hoover and hard to find in good condition and the 2 Electras very nice

Not jealous at all !!!!!!!!
