[vintagekitchen]

Ok, I know you have all been waiting, and now that I have got rested up, and uploaded all the pics, I'm ready to share a little bit of my trip to see Jim (rugsucker).

From outside everything looks so calm and unassuming...

Loving the red white and blue for the 4th, all on display out front

And who met me at the door? None other than the Pied Piper himself, our Jim.

Note the ad in his hands, and brace yourself for the next 2 pics....

Now doesn't this look familiar? Look closely at the ad Jim is holding above. Thats right, its 1950 all over again here guys..

Still gazing into 1950....

And now, onto "the place of which we do not speak"

OMG... Words cannot describe it.. So many vacs, so little space in my car.. And how to sort and search through them? Of course Jim knew who to call. It was time for me to meet a few of the Lost Boys....


Our first helper, (name withheld just cause I can, haha), ready willing and able to do some heavy lifting..

Our second helper, (yup still no name guys, na na na na na). I swear I tried to leave room for him in the car, but there were just so many vacs, lol...

Keep in mind boys, it's just a small taste...

 

[vintagekitchen]

At least one in every color I swear..

 

[vintagekitchen]

Next time maybe I will rent a van...

 

[vintagekitchen]

It just keeps going and going....

 

[vintagekitchen]

Multiples baby, multiples...

So this is "the place of which we do not speak". I always wondered what that was. So are all the vacuums/parts for sale? Thanks for sharing. I love these types of pictures.

There were things I had never seen. Anyone notice whats odd about this Filterqueen?

 

[vintagekitchen]

Look at all the Eurekas..

The Rexair kids, lurking in the shadows

High and mighty, the uprights look down on their canister brethren..
