I am up to 75 vacuums before these pics on

the new post part II.

Here are more of My Nannys vacuums she was a neat freak and kept
every thing in her home looking like brand new .

I inherited that from both of my Nannys both were
so caring of products they owned only bought the best
and had stuff forever .

This is my Dads mom vacuums she really loved vacuums I got
quite a bit of them when she passed .

First her Hoover Lark model 12 my favorite number only flaw is handle paint worn.

Second her prized Kirby model 518 I sent back to Kirby
to get it rebuilt when she passed it cost me $21.99 a bargin
but I had no idea they would change the color but it looks nice
anyway and the brown family was her favorite color so it's Kool .

That model 12 Lark is gorgeous -- what a lovely specimen!  I have one or two of those around here somewhere, awaiting a spa treatment...

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Thanks Fred

I love it as did my Grandma (Nanny) did .

It is immaculate and looks and runs brand new just the handle grip area paint missing as usual on older Hoovers .

Oh no...

between that Lark and the Hoover 370 Junior i just posted about i'm afraid i might expand the number of desirable vacs in my known universe far beyond that which i could ever manage.

See I'm giving

Members ideas on which vacuums they should seek out next for
their collections .

Do you have one room to keep all these awesome machines displayed in or are they scattered through out your house ?

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Mike

No I live in a small 20's Bungalow on 28 acres they are all crammed into the loft .
That's why I'm pulling them out and going through them to sell .
I just donated 50 to my local food banks thrift store they were a lot
of bag less and low end vacuums I had picked up cheap just to try
Out . I buy a lot of nib low end on eBay to see how they are made I get them
really cheap and the donation helps for tax season .

The lark looks beautiful, if you ever wanted to, a auto parts store should be able to match up a small amount of paint to repaint that handle. 


 


I also buy allot of new machines to see how they work, although its cheaply made one of the cheapy's I am most impressed with is the new Eureka airspeed one, It wont win any build quality contests but it actually cleans rather well, and its dual cyclone tech actually keeps the dirt off the filter rather well.


 


I wish we had donation tax benefits here but they canned them a few years ago

Gareth

That's right my friend owns an Autobody
shop I should bring the handle to him .

But on the other hand it's my Nannys hand that did
that so I'm kinda stuck as what to do .

I had an airspeed one I almost kept it but thank God
it was bag less that changed my mind . I thought it
did a great job .

They are trying to get rid of tax deductions here too
more money for the Goverment to waste in nonsense

[gsheen]

Yea I have a similar problem with one of my machines, To restore it to its original beauty or keep it the way it was made by been used every day. Its a tough choice but I think I have made up my mind, I want it to be like it was when that loved one first got it, It was there new vacuum and even though they were not vac mad like  back then it was a big purchase and they would have enjoyed having it all new   

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Exactly

Gareth I will keep it just the way nanny left it
