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

General Electric's pre-war line up.

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.

I bought this old thing in December 1984. It was a Christmas present to myself. Bernie Vandeveer was the branch office, senior manager, and he sold it to me. The hose was replaced with a vinyl hose about 20 years into its life.

Oh I love how you have those mixers displayed on the shelf. The colors look so much more striking with that dark shelf.

Also wow, that man baking the cake ad must have been highly controversial for those times!

And are those Lewyt electronics the ones that famously would electrocute people? Fortunately I learned of this problem before I ever found one, or that might be a bad experience. lol

What a great cleaning combination. An old General Electric and an old Hoover.

GE Swivel Tops

Did all the GE swivel tops have a 750-watt, reverse-flow motor? Years ago I had a model V11C65 (centered swivel top) with such a motor. Just wondering.

Joel..

The GE swivel tops did have a reverse flow or upside down motor they had 600-750 and 830 watts depending on year 1952-1972 were the years they were built.
