My 1st Vacuum from the 60’s!!!☮️❤️🌼🌸✌️

[gj3476]

Hi everybody! So today is very exciting for me because one again I got another addition to my vacuum collection and this one here was made in the 60’s. I’m not going to tell y’all yet, so I wanted to surprise everybody with this one. I got this from Larry Adkinson aka Larryeddy, and this is one of the vacuums he was selling so I couldn’t pass it up at all. Enjoy!

Feels like Christmas!

 

[gj3476]

We’re getting closer!

 

[gj3476]

Looks familiar to y’all?

Judging by the want id say Hoover

 

[gj3476]

Here’s what I got out so far, telescopic wand and hose. Familiar? I think I’ll keep the wand and maybe the hose?

 

[gj3476]

Any guesses?

 

[gj3476]

Well here’s the handle and in really great shape too! And one thing, it’s a Hoover.

Congrats!

A very early Hoover Dial-A-Matic..maybe 1100?

Hey Gabriel

Is that a Dial a Matic?

Congrats on the "new" DAM!

Love me some vintage 60s stuff! Not just the style and colors, but a fun period in my life, memories it triggers

 

[justjunque]

Ahh.

I wasn't sure. Thanks Rick.

I have an opportunity to get a sort of turquoise colored one.
Working, but a little rough.
It would be $5 and a 45 or so minute drive each way.

Surprise!!!!!

So here’s my new vintage vacuum! The Hoover Dial a Matic 1100, first model made around 1963! It is in very nice condition for being 55 yrs old and I’ve been dying for vacuum made in the 60’s to add to my collection! I also love the old style suction dial on the back.

 

[gj3476]

DAM in action, it works amazing and suction is great too! I also found out this is the same vacuum Elizabeth Montgomery aka Samantha Stephens from Bewitched uses!

 

[gj3476]

Serial number is 0103189.

 

[gj3476]

Bottom of the cleaner is in great shape too!! What a day!

 

[gj3476]

Vac o matic, yes it’s a Dial a Matic 1100! I’ll be surprised if these are kinda rare!

 

[gj3476]

JustJunque, I would love to find a turquoise Dial a Matic! That one u mentioned is model 1110.

 

[larryeddy]

Glad you like it!

Enjoy it!

Larry Eddy!

 

[gj3476]

Thank you larryeddy! Hoping to buy more vacuums from you soon once my family and I move to a big house!

Nice & Early

Great vac to start a 60s collection with new at the time features of clean air hard case system,suction dial, easiest hose use and more.attachments would have been optional.Your hose color is from later DAM.Bag signal would come later as would height adjustment, rare headlight and then Power Drive.As you noticed bag latch and suction dial match.Later round suction knob was easier to wind cord on in any position but not as nicely styled.On the earliest the hose from nozzle was not removable at bag door.Again better styling but more difficult to unclog.
Happy Hoovering!

That is a special present for you!

Way over here in the UK, we knew the Dial a Matic as the Convertible, and the US Convertible was the Senior in the UK. Because if there's a Junior, surely there's a Senior...

I like the power input of 840w, and it seems like it's quite powerful from what you said. No excuse at all for a 2kw motor!

I just absolutely get tempted by the betabars on the agitation. That cleaner surely beats... as it sweeps... as it cleans! Hope it isn't too noisy, but you're probably not too bothered about that.

 

[gj3476]

mikanic, the vacuum isn’t noisy at all, it’s great and yes it definitely does beats and sweeps the carpet! But I’m planning on using hepa cloth bags instead of type D bags so it would have better airflow and hopefully strong suction too! Plus I’m planning on replacing the soft white brush strips with firm orange red brush strips for much better carpet grooming and performance. Greetings from the big D of Texas!!!
