Very nice collection!

You have quite a variety of vacuums there.  I liked seeing that little Eureka Princess.  My mother got one just like that for Christmas in 1961.  I bought a Royal 880 just like yours when I was in college and I have one of those little Dirt Devil broomvacs too and the Kirby Dual 80 is one of my all-time favorites

thanks!

for a while i was going for just kirby's and eurekas, and had a good number, but then i couldnt find any for about a year so i started going for whatever i liked. and then i sold a many of the kirbys and eurekas and i agree i LOVE the d80 especially the sound and the big bag inflating

Wow I must say you have some very beautiful and rare vacuum cleaners IE that old electrolux ( do u have any more luxs)? and that rexair very nice. Zach

 

[kirbyeureka95]

i dont have any more

i have in the past, but none of them had power nozzles, and unless the vac is really neat i dont like canisters without pn's (as you see i have a couple exceptions, but im selling a couple of them)

I love your collection, great pictures! Love the Eureka's and it is amazing how folks used vacuums with no powerheads. My mother never had one till I bought her one in the late 80's and that was a JC Penney Eureka 1700 model. She loved it!  I can still see her vacuuming with out a powerhead, the house was always spotless! She just swept more than normal, needless to say we kept her on her toes!  But I love the Eureka's, I just bought that  Montgomery Ward Signature 700 it has no powerhead and I love it. It is only 7amp but man it has power! We were chatting about it at the vacuum store today and they wanted the motor out of it because it was such a quality make. I just love them all......

That is just an awesome collection!! Love the Royal Prince hand vac and the Eureka Ultra upright!! Those Ultra uprights are hard to find and are very good machines. Your Kirby collection is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pictures! Craig

That's a very nice collection that you have there! I especially like the Red/White Eureka upright with the red paisley print bag! That is a rare machine and I have never seen one in person. Did you find that at a local thrift shop or vacuum store? Thanks for sharing!
