Vacuum Memorabilia

[vacuumkid3]

Hi everyone,

BTW: When I get around to it (it cut off too much), I will rescan my Air-Way Operating Manual for all to enjoy.

But what I am actually here to say is...I have two things to share with everyone. The first is something I still can't figure out. I hope one of you will know what it is. Here is a picture of it.

And here is a postcard. I found this also in Allentown, PA.

The Kirby Mailer was used to send small parts to customers -- things like screws, carbon brushes, etc.

The post card was in commemoration of an exhibit of Machine-Age industrial art at the Brooklyn Museum of art in New York. There was also a folding greeting card that was die-cut in the shape of the Electrolux.

Hey Charles!

I figured you'd know!! Jason thought that the Kirby thing was for small parts. Why does it have that bag attached? Would that have held the pieces, or did the pieces go in the envelope?

Do you have that post card or the greeting card? Let me know!

~~K~~

P.S. Charles, feel free to put that on your website if you want to. I can also get a higher resolution photo if you need it.

The parts being shipped would go inside the little cloth bag.

As to the Electrolux cards, yes I have both types.
