Welcome to VacuumLand! Thanks for posting, that's a very nice looking collection! I see that you have a Garry in your collection, I don't know much about them, and imagine that they didn't have a long run, but I have wanted one ever since I watched that infomercial years ago!
 
thanks

the gary came to me in a rather strange way. i was at a thrift shop not that far away from town and i saw several vacs in kind of a back break room area and one of them was the gary. long story short, a phone call was made and it was mine for $10 ..but im actually wanting to sell it

I love the color on that Royal peeking out in the first picture. You have good taste, too, based on the Filter Queen, the Rainbow SE, the Tristar, and that nice looking Dirt Devil Broom Vac. As for Hoovers, there is a self propelled windtunnel in the back there.
I think my favourite is the Garry. We may laugh now, but it's always the weird ones that become super collectible in the future. I have yet to see one in person anywhere. I wouldn't let that out of my sight because in a few years it will be one of the rarest ones out there.
 
Very diverse collection... nice mix of low and high end, vintage and modern, and upright and canister. The Broom Vac is fun, isn't it?
 
The Garry

That Garry is a very rare one - I've only ever seen one of these on ebay in the UK, and they seem to be an imitation Oreck.
Does anyone else have any info on Garry vacs? Are they a US cleaner only, and are they still in production? Is Garry a subsidiary of a larger company? I don't know much about them, and was interested in the one that appeared on Ebay UK, but the seller wouldn't post it if I remember rightly.

Others are right in that they say you should hold on to the Garry, as it may well be very collectible in the future, due to it being an oddity brand.
 
well ...the rainbow is not an se ..its a d4c but my neigbor has the se model and the filter queen is my aunts, its at my house looking pretty until i get a switch for it

and the yes the broomvac is fun but i have noticed that the pulley looks almors bent slightly. is that normal on these?
