Some Hoover Vault Finds...

[myhooverco]

This would be a rare find anyway but Canadian? The US version model 564 was made just for a short while. I am not sure how long the Canadian version 566 was built. This was a hybrid. It had just a short bumper, snap bag, but used the deluxe hood with headlight. The bag on this one is just as soft as it was the day it was built.

 

[myhooverco]

close up...it has one small scrape unfortunately!

 

[myhooverco]

bottom view...the same applies here for the 566 as the 671.

 

[myhooverco]

A model 36 by any other name? No, this one is a 361. Same color. It should have a one piece handle but I swapped it for the American version. This machine is only a one speed machine! I wish that I had the attachment set for this cleaner.

 

[myhooverco]

...bag detail! My model 36 says just Hoover....this one says Hoover Convertible.

 

[myhooverco]

Here is its tag...

 

[myhooverco]

Here is the bottom...there is no second speed actuator anywhere. It still uses those **** screws to remove the hood. At least I did not have to grease the bearing on this one!

 

[myhooverco]

How about another American version? This time it is a very LATE Hoover Convertible model 70. This one was about 3,000 from the end of the line according to serial numbers. Too bad about the spot of grey paint. Any suggestions on how to remove it?

 

[myhooverco]

bag details...notice the lack of the word "Convertible"?

 

[myhooverco]

The cord even still has the little orange-ish paper labels on it. Some of them did fall out as I was putting it together though.

 

[myhooverco]

Side view...the little "booties" that cover the foot pedals were changed at some point to white. My earlier model 70 has blue "booties".

Here is its official Hoover vault tag...

bottom details...

I have more to post. I was home today from school due to the below 0 temperatures so I thought that I might post a few. My "sanctuary" here in Hooverland "East" is truly full. Thanks again for all of your kind words on this thread. I look forward to having the club here to see my collection in August. I look forward more to the machines that you are all going to be bringing to North Canton!

Too bad about the spot of grey paint. Any suggestions on how

FEH!!!
You should be ashamed of yourself, having that machine flawed as it is in your collection!
You'll just have to toss it in a box and send it here, where I will gladly see to its disposition...

Maybe a Magic Eraser for that spot, or a light auto rubbing compound. Or you could send it to Florida, (just a thought). Thanks for this latest line of sparkly colored Hoover pics.

Tom,

Shipping is cheaper to Iowa, I will send a prepaid return box and I will take care of the spot of gray paint.

There is a product out there called Opps... I think it would be safe to use.

Morgan.... By the way great pictures.

That 1222 is gorgeous! Much lovlier than the 115, the only machine of that type I have ever seen. Didn't even know the 1222 existed!

 

[swingette]

Tom Anderson, its one thrill after another with you! Love that 70 589, 584, 334...that painted bottom plate. painted like a models 63. And that outrageous Mastercraft you have on eBay. And that 361 is flawless.

Hoover - Who Better!!!

Well Tom, what can I say!!blimey, you`d better make sure the locks and alarm are on at night!!!great to see the first of the re-vamped UK Hoover Juniors, the colour is Rose & Ivory White, and the Canadian 1222, like our 1224!!

Did Hoover UK send all their first models to "The Vault" do you know??

Enjoy, Mike

 

[vibrabeat]

Tom, Im just in awe of all of the vault finds.......There is no one more generous and more deserving to have these than you. Your collection was always the best, and now with the vault finds it is truely the best in the world. We are all so proud of you.

 

[myhooverco]

David...

I am getting used to the painted plates. They seem not as pretty to me in a way. I guess I just like the shine!

Mike...

Thanks for the information on the Juniors. They are very nice machines and very well built. I have to say that they are much nicer than the ones we had in the US. It is no wonder they sold so well in the UK.

Jimmy...

Thanks for your kind words. I am not sure that I deserve it or am entitled to this stuff. It is more about being in the right place at the right time! Just wait until the club gets to visit your house with all of your great vacuums, washers, etc. this summer at the convention. You have a wonderful collection of vintage items that are mint. I guess we are the keepers of history!

just keep checking e-bay and you will find the Hoover vault vacuum you are looking for,but you will pay $$$$$$$$,just pretending to preserve the Hoover vault,but making a big profit on e-bay

 

[swiveltop]

Those vacuums should have went to a museum, not to some,so called collecter and just sold willy nilly to anybody

 

[hoover1060]

vacuums on ebay from the vault...

Are NOT Tom's... he is selling the for someone else locally who bought what was left when the vault sale was ended.

Tom ain't making a dime on that ebay stuff.

 

[swingette]

so what if someone is selling Hoover vault stuff? TTI obviously doesnt care. better the machines sold than in the trash. how many museums would take in Hoover cleaners?

 

[hoover1060]

the vault sale

was open to the public...anybody could go. Whats on ebay is just a fraction of what was there.
You're right David, there was too much for a museum.

 

[badata]

AND>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> its NOBODY's business what ANYONE does with ANYTHING in their life let alone their collection. SOME people need to mind their own business before assuming things about others.........or at LEAST ask first!!!!

 

[vibrabeat]

Dear "Swiveltop"
1. Im NOT looking for anything. If I was all I would have to do is ASK Tom Anderson for it and he would give it to me free. I have know him for many years and he is a kind and generous person, which is more than I can say for you from the tone of your post.
2. I was PERSONALLY at the Hoover Auction and could have bought anything I wanted. I did in fact leave with a couple of rare items which are none of your business or anyone elses.
3. I have known about the ebay auctions and they are NOT for Tom Anderson but for another person, Tom just being the person in the middle.
4. Who ever YOU are, OR WHATEVER you are, you really should learn your facts before you open your big mouth and make an ass out of yourself on a public forum.

Mark, one might also want to re-read and amend what one has said in one's own profile before blindly lashing out, however how well intentioned.

"I didn't care they were cheap, and I would have a garage sale on the weekends and really clean up."
