I just thought I'd post some of my more recent estate sale finds. First up is a Hoover 65 Convertible with the one piece handle and original bag. I found it in Wichita at an estate sale when I was visiting for Thanksgiving. My father mentioned that a sale there had two Hoovers, a 65 and a 34. He asked if they were anything speical. I said, of course, both are. Well, when I went the next day, I found the 65 was worth getting but the 34 wasn't. It had a brown hood and bag. Then the very next weekend I was going to sales in KC and found another Hoover 65 with a one piece handle. It didn't have the original bag and didn't look in all that great of shape. The handle was faded bad. I almost thought maybe it was off a 67 Convertible but a 67 wouldn't have had a one piece handle so it must just be faded. I found an early Hoover DAM a month ago at another sale. I picked it up for Kenny Loveland. Then this past weekend, Kenny came up and we went to estate sales and found the Eureka Vanguard with the original box top bag. I still am just in awe that I found two 65 Convertible with one piece handles in the matter of a week's time. Its rare that I see a 65 but what are the odds of finding two with one piece handles?
