The pumpkins have landed.

Make Every Home A Hoover Home. I couldn’t decide which vintage Hoover to use, so I decided to use them both.

Both look like new. Unbelievable !

Those would probably make Linus faint - attractive, indeed along with Seal Greige! A mid-1970s article about Eureka cleaners listed Pumpkin as one of its new colors, but I have yet to see any ads identifying which model-types were enameled or colored in it.

My 1100 is my favorite. John Gregory sent me the brand new set of attachments. I feel just like Samantha every time I use it.

This reminds me to take out my Dial a matic Branded Baycrest Selectomatic i need the hose tho would a porta power hose fit or a dial mati set is it the same size as a Canadian Baycrest ?

 

[dysonman1]

A portapower hose fits the Dial. I have a plastic hose from a P. power that’s about 7 or 8 feet long. I enjoy using it with the dial because I can reach farther up a wall when I’m dusting.

Beautiful Dial-a-Matic and Portable you have there Tom! I have the matching 858 Constellation. I was always surprised that Hoover didn't build a matching Convertible! Here's my 858.

I love Dial-A-Matics, I regretted passing up on one of the orange models from my local thrift store.

Your constellation is gorgeous and in such nice shape. My friend Adam has the same constellation in his collection. I am trying to get all three machines together for a photo shoot.

Thank you, Tom!

I'm unsure if these Eurekas are technically colored pumpkin or tangerine (two colors along with Big Bad Orange named in a 1976 Eureka news article), but the color brings to mind the Festal canned yellow pumpkin my mom used in her delicious Thanksgiving pies.

Here they are—Dial-A-Nap model-type 1417-B (with hood in a perceived "whipped cream" color) and canister model-type 3460-A:
