The North Canton Vac In 2007

[myhooverco]

Here is a shot of our finds today. Buffalo Joe arrived this morning and we did a little thrifting and even went to the Hoover employee sales center where Joe picked up a Hoover Steam Vac and some "H", "D",and "C" bags. We found a great Hoover junior, Convertible model 719, Sunbeam bags, a floating Celebrity, a brand new 1341 tool set for a Hoover Junior and a Eureka tool set among other things. More photos to come!

Here are some "bojack" uprights that Joe brought for our cleaning competition. I wonder how these will stack up against my Hoover cleaners. We had to sneak these in under cover of darkness lest the Hoover police see us! HA!! No seriously, these are some great machines. The Singer is near mint and the Kirby Classic runs perfectly. We are not sure of the year on the GE. Anyone have any ideas as to how old it is?

Here are some tank cleaners. The one on the left is the Lux model "T" from the mid 1950's, then there is a Kenmore Cyclonic bagless, and a Lux Oxygen which is very quiet. Eureka made the Kenmore and Oxygen which was renamed from a Eureka. And of course there is the famous Buffalo Joe himself! The others are to arrive in the morning. We are off to a vac shop which should have some goodies for us and of course we have to make a stop at the famous "Hoover Historical Center" which has not contrary to popular opinion been air lifted to China! (Didn't think I would find out about that one did ya?)

Some great vacuum finds!!!

I hope Joe will bring the Electrolux Oxygen to the convention as I have been dying to try one out.

That GE is a wonderful looking vacuum. Hopefully some one here will know the age.

I am jealous of the Hoover Jr. tool set... someday perhaps I will find one.

Sounds like a great mini meet. Make sure you keep the pictures coming.

The Kirby is a beauty, and of course you know how much I love the Singers too!

Tools

Hey Tom

Any chance of a pic of the Junior tools?? Am I correct in thinking they are possibly UK made with the Hooverflex/Ultraflex hose?.

Cheers

More tool trivia.....

Forgot to say.....
Ive just won a Eureka tool kit looking pretty similar to that from Ebay- apparently they will fit my Electrolux Sanitaire - will be interesting to see what the tool suction is like on that when they come.

Thats also a pretty nice looking 719- will it be joining the others or going elsewhere??

[myhooverco]

Here is Corey, Joe, and Norm discussing some vintage Eureka literature...vibra groomer 1, 2, 3, it is all a mystery to me!

[myhooverco]

Here is Corey with a Hoover Ranger on shag carpeting no less...

 

[myhooverco]

Here they are discussing the similarities between the Hoover model O and the original Spangler model...yes, the Center is still here not yet air lifted to China!! HA! In between the O and the Spangler is the "Skinner" cleaner from 1905.

--Tom

 

[myhooverco]

Here is Corey using an original Model O Hoover...very quiet indeed!

 

[myhooverco]

Here is Norm showing us how to set up the 1936 Hoover model 150 for tool use...these old Hoovers are so easy to use!

 

[myhooverco]

Here is Norm demonstrating the model 84 Connie...note that great rug nozzle. The 63 upright next to it was unusable due to a deteriorated cord. Too bad...we all wanted to run that one as it was one of our favorites.

 

[myhooverco]

Here is Corey checking out the 1170 DAM serial number 0000001001...yes folks that is the first one off of the line! Norm is looking on...We all ran this one around. It was previously run by our Jeff Parker as he has a unique way of winding the cord. Sorry Jeff but we wound it back in a figure 8...
