WOW!!!

I can't imagine just how many vacuums you have all together between the house, shop, and warehouse. Thank you for sharing the pictures! By the way, would you happen to have a spare nozzle for a Kirby 512 that you'd be willing to sell? My 512 runs great, and I have a full set of attachments with it and a polisher, but no nozzle.

Chris...

Thanks for taking the time to post the photos of your shop! You have some very nice pieces in there. I am very impressed. It will take me days to look over all of the photos. I seem to see something new everytime I look over them again and again. I agree with Terry...the next convention needs to be in YOUR town! Thanks again Chris!

Chris,

Awesome collection, you have some nice stuff.

Sorry, but I don't have a shopping list of stuff I need, I'll just admire the pics.

 

[ge1969]

Chris, Thanks for any help you can give me. Looks like we're both after the same rare bird as far as the red and white Connie goes. That's a Canadian model isn't it? Till I hear back from you on the attachments and the other pics of the GE Swivel-Top, I'll just admire the great pics too. Later, Trg

 

[normvac]

Red/White Connie

is model 434, promo model 1962 ONLY.
The colors are canton red and pearl white.
About 25,000 made.
Thats probably the rarest of the Connies.

This is Jeff(hoover1060) posting under his better half's name.

This one???

 

[rugmaster37]

What a wonderful treasure trove....

Chris,

I am just in awe of your collection.Many of us here do not have such a varied, and unique collection as you have. You seem to have a little bit of everything. It must have taken you years to amass all of these things. Congratulations!!!

I too do not have a shopping list of things that I need, and have instead enjoyed the photos as well, and wasn't aware that the point needed to be stressed, however it should come as no surprise that when you show what you've got theres bound to be a few requests here and there.

At any rate, good to see that there are a few places left where there is a "possibility" of finding that needed something if need be....and if offered...

Signs

I love your round Eureka and Hoover signs. Have you thought about having replicas made? (I'd be willing to pay around 29.95 for a replica of either, and I'm sure others would also)
