Vacuum Building Update

Hans,
Is that the GE floor washer box that Tania got on a visit to my house? It looks a little familiar! You will never know how it almost got pitched. Tania could not take it with her and I ALMOST pitched it, thinking-who would want this? Sure glad I hung on to it for her a little longer.
Your collection looks great. I just spent the last few months selling off my collection. Somehow it was a lot more fun finding the machines than advertising, packing and selling all the machines.
Also think your new house looks great.
Rob

Silver King

[kirbyvertibles]

Hans, this is an amazing collection!! Congratz on the vacuum room sir, when you're done you can fly here and help me with mine.

You have a gorgeous collection Hans. Truly museum quality machines - I've seen them in person. Congratulations on a great display. Are you and I the only people with a McAllister Bagless? Yours is the only other one I've ever seen, other than mine.

Hans,

That's an amazing collection you have, and well displayed! Congrats on having a spacious building to put them in, and a great job moving them in and organizing them.

great collection!

I really enjoyed seeing that great canister selection! My next machine is hopefully going to be a 50s eureka rotomatic. Thanks Bill

 

[DesertTortoise]

Ah, someone else has the canister disorder too! Beautiful collection, especially the Kenmores lurking down on the bottom shelf. And look at that big wheel Lewyt! Is that the original color?

 

[DesertTortoise]

Ooooh, I see the Avocado Bombers twin on the bottom shelf!

 

[hydralique]

Beautiful Stuff . . .

I especially like the chrome top GE with the cord reel. When I was small my aunt and uncle had one of those, how I loved to play with that! And the Apex Stratocleaner, the Royal, and of course I always love Compacts and Filter Queens . . . wish I had time and space for a collection of that size and quality.

Hans,


 


Absolutely wonderful. As Tom said, a museum quality collection. Well done!

brings back memories when I went to the factory in Bronson ,Michigan and saw the hoe of Kingston. The first model was Kingston, then Germatron, then Saniway and Royal. All the same body and manufacturer.

 

[super-sweeper]

lovely!

I need a vacuum building myself! The window in the back is kept unlocked, right? North Carolina isn't such a drive.....if anything goes missing, we never spoke!!!!

 (Only kidding!!!!!)

 

[eurekastar]

That really is amazing!!!

 

[super-sweeper]

While I'm fueling the Plymouth.....

For that long (And completely legal!!!!

) road-trip to North Carolina....I'll ask a question!


 


Wasn't Gem vacuum cleaners sold at Jewel Food Stores? 

 

[kenkart]

RE GEM

The Gem was a machine Tom got from Ruth Hollander, it was new when he got it, I have had it about 10 years or so, for a short time, Ruth sold them, as well as Saniways.
