the old,the rare,and the odd.

[super-sweeper]

o.k collectors,show us you're old,you're rare,you're odd vacuum cleaners!

 

[aeoliandave]

Okay, i'll bite the grammar bullet..
I'm 58 and some might think that old.
I'm the only one of my kind so that makes me rare.
And I do clean up the odd vacuums now and then.

Old odd Davy

After translation into English, my rarest vac that I own is my Kirby 1981 Golden Trophy "Council Winner" Tradition...

Seen here with my Heritage84 and my former G5:

Dave just like everything old odd and rare.....

and another for good mesure....

my 1992 Kenmore Power Center...this falls into odd, and rare

Dave . . .

and if your avatar is a reliable guide, you're the type who chooses to do it with a Lewyt thus making you even rarer these days!

Amazing golden Kirby, 2cvbloke!

and one more for good luck....

last one i promise!.....they keep poping int my mind....my 1973 Regina Brush.N.Beat upright in cheery yellow

Now that I think about it 2cvbloke . . .

I believe the three Kirbys combined must weigh more than my whole Dyane 6 back when I had it, at least if my Legend II is any guide.

As for me, somewhere in storage I have a Compact complete with pink hassock storage box and floor polisher, most likely a C-4. Not especially rare, but rarer than the Legend II and certainly odder if only for the pink hassock box.

 

[twocvbloke]

Nah, the Dyane6 weighs more than a 2CV (bigger panels to make it look more modern), so, it'd be more like the weight of a 2CV6...

Jason!!!!!! There is that exact same model of oreck at the local goodwill. Its been there for weeks. They want $20 for it. I have never considered it. Didn't know it was rare

Brandon,

I would grab that if I were you! Those were the first Orecks, and they are really neat!

Brush and Beat!!

Now thats unusual, I remember being at Iveys in Charlotte NC as a kid and seeing those new!! I thought they were great then, and still do!

 

[1926700]

Hans....

you should remember THAT particular Brush.N.Beat......think back to 07?

 

[kenkart]

OH YEAH!!!

Its all coming back to me now!!! Seems I DO remember it!

 

[1926700]

humm humm.....

Phillip ended saving it about a year and a half after that....then i traded him a all original Convertible 66 for it....i wanted that cause it made a sort appearance on one of my favorite T.V. shows from the 70's.....
