Hello, folks! First, an introduction (some may know me from elsewhere.) I mostly collect radio/TV stuff, but also have some small appliances and vacuums. Most of the vacs are older handhelds (space considerations) though I do have some canisters and a pretty old upright.
What brings me here today, instead of just lurking: I have become friends with an older couple who are in the process of retiring from the TV & appliance business. (approx. 40 years same location, about 50 years total) At one time they sold/serviced vacs, and were a Eureka/Hoover dealer. I have been helping them sell a lot of things, and they have some NOS vac bags. I sold quite a few on ebay, mostly for 70's models. I thought the older ones would sell but I've had no luck-I figured somebody out there must be looking. Here is what I have:
Eureka J, M & O
Aftermarket (Norca) bags for older Westinghouse canisters & some that fit the following: Eureka 800 series, Regina, Filtex, Universal 57, 615, 6910-20, Singer E1, E2, E3, and Atlas Jet
I think there are a few others around here two, maybe just partial packages. Mostly I have the Westinghouse & "universal".
The folks also have a couple attachment assemblies to go with Eureka uprights. (snap on the bottom of the vac, hoses connects to them, includes attachments)
There are some hoses, probably used, look older. (woven)
There is also this Hoover, which I have cleaned up since taking this photo.
My goal is to find needy homes for all this, while getting my friend a fair price. Any suggestions/information is welcome!
