Swedish Green collection

[ryry_87]

Well, it started with the Constellation. Then my partner decided it would be nice to have a matching Dustette and so on and so forth and in the space of a few months, we've ended up with a gorgeous set of swedish green and smoked pine Hoovers the only ones we've still not got are the shampoo polisher and 417 cylinder.

BEAUTIFUL!!

I just got that junior.  It is missing the bumper guard.  That HOOVERETTE is so unique.  WE never had that here .

Sure you did John, it was in one of the pictures you posted of your Convertibles!

Don't you remember I commented on how it would be useful instead of using the Convertible tools ?

417 & Hooverette

I have a spare 417 in smoke Pine & Swedish Green if you are interested - probably a bit better condition than the Connie.

The later version Lark (like a stick vac) appears to be the same as the Hooverette, only it did not have the handle that the Hooverette did. Did the lark come with an accessory set, like this?

Your HOOVERETTE

would be the mate to our Pixie,  only, ours didn't look like that.   There were no tools, i believe, to the Lark "stick vac" over here.  IF there were, I've never seen them.

Hey guys....quick question:

why is that colour called "Swedish green"? There is no green on the Swedish flag - unless you mix blue paint with yellow paint...

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">John - There WAS a blue version of that "Hooverette" here, though I don't think it had that name in the U.S.. I am digging through brochures to find it. I think it was in the 1965 line-up. Gimme a few minutes...</span>
