Old Things

[dysonman1]

One of my good friend Robert's favorite colors is red. Blood red. Kirby red. He rebuilt a Kirby 518 to make it a modern machine. I keep mine natural (like my hair).

Speaking of old things:
The Vacuette Electric is a very interesting machine to work on. Primitive, but very well thought out.

 

[dysonman1]

How appropriate. A Kirby 562, the first Sanitronic.

 

[dysonman1]

A few old Hoovers and an old General Electric.

 

[dysonman1]

My old friend (and Best Man at my wedding) with a VERY old Hoover.

 

[dysonman1]

Hard to believe this old gal is 30 years old now.

The first "filter queen".

 

[dysonman1]

The first Filter Queen with a filter cone and cyclonic action, 1939's model 200.

 

[dysonman1]

The lovely old Singer with a two-speed motor and an automatic cord winder.

 

[dysonman1]

The awesome and lovely Kenmore Bugeye. The oldies were goodies for sure.

A glam shot of my Air-Way, one of my oldest and most prized possessions.

An old Health-Mor hand vac set-up. Lovely graphics.

 

[dysonman1]

A few old friends. Searching out dirt wherever they go.

 

[dysonman1]

Old relics. A Hoover model 65 and a General Electric Mobile Maid with the bow-tie wash impeller.

 

[dysonman1]

The old C4 flat-top Revelation. It's quiet, powerful, and a joy to clean with. And it has suction control as well.

 

[dysonman1]

Who wouldn't want an old Lewyt? And in 'pank'?

 

[dysonman1]

Just a lonely old Compact IEC Electra

 

[dysonman1]

A forgotten Filtex, like the classic trains of the 1950's.

 

[dysonman1]

This is what happens when old meets new.

 

[dysonman1]

An old Ohio, made in Canton (on Hoover's doorstep).

 

[dysonman1]

The Air-Way Chief and the old Air-Way Zephyr

 

[dysonman1]

The old 1205 Lux. My favorite in blue.

 

[dysonman1]

The old General Electric series.

 

[dysonman1]

Hard to believe the 70's were more than 50 years ago. Old time vacuum cleaners.

 

[dysonman1]

General Electric's pre-war line up.

The old filterqukeen is fantastic, great collection

 

[dysonman1]

The old Hoover 913. So heavy. But so much suction.

Great photos, Tom!

I have a Hoover 913 in beautiful condition, but I need an original bag for it.

The old Royal tank with the Manta Ray power nozzle.
