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.

 

[thevacomaticiec]

so it should fit my Baycrest Selectomatic ok thanks alot .

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 just love that colour scheme

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:

Here are all three of my "pumpkins" together for Halloween.

 

[hygiene903]

Nice group of hoover "pumpkins!"

 

[centralsweeper63]

That is truly a delicious colour scheme trio. a matching convertible would have been very cool.

 

[centralsweeper63]

I have found a POTENTIALLY matching Convertible. I am not sure if it is matching or not but it sure looks it.

And look at those lovely carpets. They have a very interesting history, and have withheld the footsteps from many people.

I was saving the pumpkin convertible for a Thanksgiving themed photo shoot. Can't use all of them for Halloween.

 

[centralsweeper63]

Sorry, I forgot to mention it was your photo. I have a bad memory some days. At least there is one thing I never forget, vacuum knowledge.

I recently used some Festal canned pumpkin and noticed that the pumpkin was identified on the label as "golden" instead of "yellow"; which is a better way to describe the color of the Eurekas.
