The Rare Bison Dirt Meter

[bvac6]

I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny Loveland and Chad this past Sunday at the old vacuum shop sale. We dug around and they left with a Kirby Salesman's Demo Kit and a nice Filter Queen. Also, we discovered not one but TWO Bison Dirt Meters! There seems to be next to no info on these and I only received an answer to the question from Chad, so they must just be darn rare! When I get into the shop I will be sure to post pics of it. One will be kept with the Bison that is in the antique collection, the other will go to Ebay! (For those curious all proceeds go to TekVenture, a Fort Wayne based Non-Profit)

Robert,

Thank you for letting Chad and I look through the back room. After touring Filter Queen I have new respect for the company and had to have another one. A couple of years ago I had a really nice Princess II that Chad and I found together. I sold it on eBay and now I regret selling it. Again, thanks for letting us look through the vac shop inventory. I would like to go back and see the vac museum and building after it is restored.

Kenny

It was pleasure! Im glad you found the machine you were looking for! Today, I am going to be unboxing inventory and properly categorizing it, I will be sure to photograph more machines as I make them complete! I have restored two machines from the antique collection, its hard work! This first is a two speed Universal upright (still waiting for the order from color cord to finish it) and a Premier Grand.
