Chad was oh-so-kind to be a shipping address for a much desired item or two.
Been a long patient time arranging for this but here's the box...

What could it be?
Pretty evident here broken down and bubblewrapped.
This was offerred up by oldappliancenut Brian a while back and I fairly lept upon it!. A deal was struck and then the long careful process of the shipping logistics.
Beautiful packing, Brian. Huge thanks for this.
What a fun unpacking - was a driveway job. Here the bottom layer of styro void stuffing has been skimmed off. Flakes flying everywhere and static stuck to me, the car, the bushes...it's a windy day today.

Sweet Mystery Of Life At Last I've Found You...again...
A dream come true, thanks to Brian and Chad.
Count on Hoover to come out with the first electric mop that sucks up it's own scrub water and drys the floor with warm motor exhaust. It went on sale to the public August 19 1959 in blue & white. In 1960 the color was changed to a soft banana yellow.
Wow Brian, it is in super condition. All it needs the the overall Spa Treatment - brush head de-fluffed and soaking in dishwashing water as I post...gaskets will be renewed as needed and then, the Demo! Wheeeeeeeeeee
Old Davy very happy.

This Royal cylinder is a revalation to me.
I'd only seen pictures of these, in yellow, blue and deep red. I had no idea how small - 20" end to end - and light it is and easy to pull around on 4 wheels. The on-board tools saddle caddy makes it cute as a button and they don't/won't fall off.
Wow, variable speed switch makes it pull from 75" to over 110". The longest hose ever...11 feet from can to hose handle. Handle switch turns on PN headlight and brushroll motor.
With all these features and the lovely rich red colour what it really should have is an Electrolux style cordwinder. Maybe I jazz it up with one.
Being a Royal Dealer, Chad had the hepa filter bags for it for me.

Red Royal accoutrements.......
That's a beautiful set of Royal tools you have there, Dave - almost Eureka like. And they all store on-board - even the floor brush. Those were the days.....
And....well.....ahem....I have no other way of saying this.....but.....ahem.....congratulations on getting that 11-foot hose! Amazing! We had a Sanyo canister in the 1970's with what must have been a five-foot hose. What a waste of rubber....

My Little Shop of Floor'ers....LMAO
Dave,
Was so good to see you, and even better that we can do it this weekend again we we come up to Sarina. I usually am quite willing out help out others if I can. And if you need the help again for the shipping, just holler my way.
I remember you saying that you got a few shots of this "Roswell like" secret warehouse that had all the vacs in Ohio. Looking over the within, I can definitely see a treasure or two for meself. I'm sure others here are drooling also. At my old job up in Lansing we had a whole third floor of the old factory building the owner had bought for a song a few years beforehand; about the width and length of this pole barn, filled with vacuum cleaners of all kins and sorts, all rowed out and sorted like that. That took me three days solid to do when i started. By he time I left three years later, I could recant by number and row, where a machine was. this helped out my helper who usually was the gopher when I needed stuff at the main store. I guarantee that's not he way it is today. They're dumb As#$%les, and wouldn't know a system if it bit them in the privates..
My Store.... GOOD god , when you see it in person it doesn't look that sardine packed in here, but by the look of your pictures, I gotta lotta stuff here in my shoebox. We as i explained used to have that whole next section, but when the hair salon moved, and the Sewing Machine Store next door sold us of, we became our own little thing...next to where we used to be.
I'm so glad that your FloorWasher made it in one piece, and it's wonderful to see that you have two now. Completing the set. As we saw with the canister when we were still visiting, most people who know, know how to ship an item correctly AND safely. It's these idiot yahoo's that grabbed granny's vac while she was asleep on the lanai and tossed it in whatever box they could find, with minimal wrapping needs to make a quick buck that usually cause the damages, and loss.
Pete- I'll answer..three. And as cold as it was that afternoon, was a good thought. I wish I had a brain to think out things like that sometimes.
Ah the Royal Pony.... Truly the last decently made, all metal, well represented vac that was available from America Inc. Dave I forgot to add, as It snapped into my mind about the time you hit the ferry, and I was about to be In Lansing that that was our VERY last Royal Pony model that we sold before they were discontinued. I know this because they moved the motor speed control back from the hand grip to in front of the metal push switch on the back.
Sam, If you ever have owned a Kenmore, with the double-brush, double beater-bar agitator, you then already know how it cleans...VERY VERY well. This was the same unit that was used on Panasonic, Hayden, Royal, Air-Way and Sears Kenmore amongst others, including some central vacs as well; that I've simply forgotten to mention.
NICE thread...

Thanks for the awnser Chad, I do know what you mean, that is the PN on the early 90's Kenmore of Aunt Thresa's that grandma uses.Probably a tie with the Eureka rotomatic powerteam PN like on your empress. But for style this PN is my favorite.
It's been decidely decided

Looks like we're gonna have sunny 50F weather for Sunday, too.
Check this link throughout the week and don't let weather be your reason for not making the journey. Sarnia is 90 minutes west from Stratford. Toronto or Hamilton/Niagara is another 90 minutes east of Stratford.

Saddle Bags
Can the saddle bag attachment carrier be taken off the Royal canister? It looks like it's riveted or screwed on. I kind of think the vacuum would look nicer without it.
