Neiman-Marcus perhaps? Those have got to be the best looking series of Hoovers in that era. For formal vacuuming parties. Great brochure.

Guys...

Don't know if some of you know this but the serial numbers in "newer" Hoovers incorporates the manufacturing date. For example, in Brett S's Hoover with serial number 079400001111, the date of manufacture was July 1994. Hoover started using the month and year in the MMYY portion of the code which was the first four numbers.

If I am wrong, will the experts please correct me?

Louis-

You're correct... they started doing that sometime in 1987, I believe.

What wonderful, unusual cleaners! I've not seen dual voltage or the unusual wattage previously either. Supre(macy) was once the private label brand of Macy's, who sold a Royal derivative under that name. That of course would have been long before this Hoover line.
