Some old vacuums, and people too.

This Hoover constellation was the only model they made with the switch in the hose handle. Such a fun little machine to use. It’s one of the first things I plug-in and let people try when they visit the museum.

Tom,

I have been meaning to find time to say that just as with the previous museum every time we see pictures it looks better and better!I will now add that you have more vintage vac knowledge and know more about what modern vac is best to remove dirt from different surfaces than any one person I know.In addition to being a great host,tour guide and cook.You have also been very generous to me and others I know with rare vacs and parts we might have never found.
Now for those who ENJOY NEGATIVE comments---In reply 12 the office walls look bare!This is not a museum of wood paneling but a VACUUM museum!Where are the vac ads,posters,clocks,awards and other???

Thank you for those kind words Jimmy. I have known you for more than 35 years. I consider you to be one of the all-time experts. I have a few interesting things scattered around the store. Enjoy.

 

[dysonman1]

Some awards, and more interesting tchotchkes.

 

[dysonman1]

There’s a vacuum cleaner lamp, vacuum cleaner posters, and even vacuum cleaner pillows. Apparently, I like vacuum cleaners.

Stan Kann was the most amazing person I ever met. He was a huge influence on my life.

I really like Electrolux. Another huge influence on my life.

I think I'm looking forward of coming up to this year's convention. I would really like to attend

We would love for you to visit and be part of the Convention this year. Third weekend in September. Last weekend of summer.

The theme to the cleaning contest this year is Power Nozzle Canisters. Bring your favorite machine to enter in the competition. If you don't have one of your own to enter, pick one from the Museum's collection and enter that one. We all have a fun no matter if you bring a machine or not.

just awesome.

Awesome collection. Awesome presentation. I am beyond words how anyone could say anything disparaging about the presentation of the collection, and the efforts that went into it. I can only say CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU for sharing. Gary K.

oh my

It appears that my Kirby lamp has been removed and replaced with a hoover lamp.

 

[thevacuumman]

One day I'll have to come check it out! I love all vacuums in general and y'alls place is somewhere I want to visit.

I love my Kirby Lamp. The Kirby is now in the Front Window, and illuminates the store front all night long.

You were beyond kind to me. Thanks again.

 

[vacmadman]

Cool!

Tom,

Thanks that's good to hear, your very welcome.

Jim
