and the GE upright. I met David 20 years ago at the first VCCC Convention. It's like the "old" VCCC is back together again - after all these years.

Vacuum Collector's Convention

Tom,
Wonderful pictures of the GE upright and Hamilton Beach machines.
It does make me crazy to see that nice 88 Air-Way turned on it's side.
Just kidding. Thanks for sharing the great shots!
Looks like everyone having fun.
Rob

Thanks Rob

It's like Old Times. There's so many vacuums for everyone to try out. Do you remember your first Convention? We had so much fun, it didn't cost a lot, and it was all about LEARNING. The very purpose of the Vacuum Cleaner Museum is to be an information resource for the public, whether they're collectors or not. It's open all year long. Sure hope you make it by here one day soon.
