Old Hoover private labels

[vintagevaclover]

I was reading an old thread on here about when a fellow collector got some very nice machines from the Hoover vault I think and I was very impressed. I never ever come across any machines like that online or elsewhere. I have never even seen some of them. I particularly liked some of the private label vacuums such as the red decade 80 from jcpenny, the holiday inn convertible (which I have seen before), and the Montgomery wards. How would one go about finding vacuums like this? I would absolutely love to find an intact InnKare one day.

Please note that these are not pictures of machines I own, I just copied them from the other thread. I always like to ad visuals.

This one is really nice

Very plain but still very nice.

A very cool '80s colour scheme

I had at one time

The Innkare, and both red & grey hoover commercials and an executive housekeeper....until one day they were stolen & never seen again. I was on vacation & they were the fated while I wad gone.

That is very unfortunate. I know how hard they are to find.

After the theft I figured I would never get them back so gave up looking for them.

I used to get them when they were being made by going to the hotels that used them & asked them if they had any machines they didn't want..amazing what you can get for free just by asking

that WARDS!

That is the COOLEST Concept of a HOOVER Concept I've ever seen! I would've bought 50 in 1984!
