The line of Areodynes...the first grey one is a model 55 and is the rarest of all Areodynes. I wish that I had found one of these in the vault! The 55 is a combination of a 52 front end and a 53 rear end. The 55 was discontinued due to the success of the Constellation. The sole remaining cylinder cleaner in the Hoover lineup after the 55 was the Hoover Holiday model 415. Does anyone have one for sale???? This is the last item I need to complete the 1950s line of Hoover appliances! It is so much fun looking for one!

Hoover 'Disposall' paper bags

Could someone please post more photos of the original paper bags for the UK 'Senior'/'Junior' (US 'Convertible')?

I ask due to curiosity; I have my Gran's HOOVER 'Junior' 1334. It shows in the manual, paper bags that appear to be pre-shaped to slide over the bag tube. Apparently, they also had a bag clip to slide over the other, openable end.

The cleaner was purchased in December 1961 (the section of the Guarantee card is in the tools box).

Also in the tools box is a very thin, white paper bag, slightly glossy exterior, with the Hoover roundel upon it, in black print. It mentions model numbers 1334, 638, and 652. There doesn't appear to be any instructions/diagrams on it (you know, 'align the arrow to the O', kind of thing).

Is this a dustbag, or merely the bag in which the hoover bags came?

bottom vs top (fill)

yes, i think Eureka's continual improvement of their uprights (ball bearing brushroll, rugulator/dial-a-nap) in the early 70s kinda forced Hoover to improve.

im reminded of the 70s Hoover ad with the hotel executive housekeeper. she makes it very clear that wood or aluminum are not acceptable agitator materials. guess Hoover was losing sales to Eureka?

This is a Hoover model 2001...

Close up of the tool storage. This is the cheapest canister Hoover made at the time. You only got just these cleaning tools plus a floor tool and a telescopic wand. This machine has lots of suction though!

Here is another "Slimline"...

 

[myhooverco]

This is a nice aqua color...

Inside details...this model came with a dusting brush and a fabric brush...the early ones had no third wheel. This one does since it is so late. I am guessing that this was the "better" Slimline...

 

[myhooverco]

I liked the little outlines of where the tools fit in the cardboard holder. I guess some people just did not know where to put them!

This model maches the model 36 upright very well. The colors are the same though they may not look like it in the photo.

Another unknown model...

 

[myhooverco]

Here is the whole machine. It is a very light yellow on top with a taupe bottom way before Hoover adopted that color on their regular cleaners. The tools are taupe in color too at a time when all tools were either grey or seal griege. Does anyone know anything at all about the John Plain Company?
