My complete vacuum collection as of September 18th, 2015

[phoenixman2014]

I will no longer be collecting vacuum cleaners because I have plenty of them already. I did my final vacuum replacement, and this is my complete collection that will not change. I will never get rid of any of these uprights or the hand vacuums, because they were all very hard to find and acquire. Most of these are very rare. From left to right:

Uprights:
1960s Eureka Montgomery Ward SP-824A- A collector sold it to me for $180.
1970s Eureka Commercial Vacuum Custom Made Model- I bought off ebay for $130.
NOS 2006 Eureka Sanitaire Commercial Vacuum SC886E-2- I bought off ebay for $250.
1980s Hoover Montgomery Ward 8855- I bought off ebay from a collector for $89.

Hand Vacuums:
NOS 1995 Dust Devil Hand Vacuum 0840- I bought off ebay for $20.
NOS 1950s Royal Hand Vacuum- I bought off ebay for $60.
NOS 1980s Royal Prince Hand Vacuum- I bought off ebay for $150.
NOS 1980s Sears Dustbuster- I bought off ebay for $15.

Vintage hand vacuums are very easy to find NOS on ebay. Vintage upright vacuums are harder to find NOS and those usually sell for over $300. These are all very rare finds. Again, I feel I have enough vacuums, so I am not buying or replacing anymore vacuums. On a separate thread, I will post links to all my current vacuums that I have videos of.

That is quite an impressive job you did finding all those barely-used vacuums, especially the Sears-branded Dustbuster!

It did cost me a lot of money, but these vacuums are in amazing condition! No cracks. There are some scratches, but none of the vacuums are beat up or anything like that. Some of the previous machines I had were in horrible condition, but I got rid of those.
