I found this beautiful old machine in a small antiques shop a few weeks ago. It was one of those I wanted to stop in and have a look in the shop but didnt have time then I took a wrong turn and ended up right their.

Its a Mary Ann

The machine is going to need some work. The bag cap and wands will need to go to for new Chrome

This is the little Antique store I found the machine at. Unfortunately closing due to pressure to sell the land by big corporate's

Mary Ann Vacuum Cleaner

I have a Mary Ann Vacuum cleaner in working order. I would like to sell it to someone who collects such items. I don't like waste and I sell a lot of things on ebay that other people just throw away.
I live in England, so I don't know how many Brits might read this, or what sort of price to put on it.
I will have to treat and paint the inside of the cylinder, because it has gone rusty. Then I will post some photos.

Took a wrong turn and wound up at the same place, eh? Serendipitous.

Looked like a nice place. Some parts of Africa I think don't look much unlike the southwestern US.

For sale on Ebay.co.uk

I have put one of these for sale on Ebay.co.uk, but I also asked for it to be listed in USA. I think it would cost £49 for me to ship it to the USA. I think Ebay's shipping is more expensive.
At the moment £1 = $1.33.approx.
