VACUUM PALOOZA My Entire Collection Must Go!!

[frkirby560]

Inviting all to a vacuum Palooza in Memphis, TN

My collection must go! I am a pastor of a church and being reassigned to a different church. I cannot take the collection with me.

I have about 50 vacuum cleaners and a great deal of attachments. I have been a collector since 1998, but simply cannot keep them at this point.

I am inviting all to the church hall on Saturday morning, May 20, 2017 from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM.

I ask that for each vacuum you make an appropriate donation to the church. Nothing will be considered too small. I am not going to haggle with anyone. Whatever doesn't go must be simply discarded at a Goodwill or something. I cannot take the time to sell them individually.

Address is St. Brigid Church
7801 Lowrance Road
Memphis, TN 38125

I ask that if you plan to come, it would be helpful to know. Simply email me at
[email protected]. If you email me I will send hotel information. There are several very reasonable hotels within walking distance of the church.


Vacuums include:

Kirby-1C with all attachments in the original box.
Kirby Dual 50 with all attachments
Kirby Legend II Original Box all attachments -- almost like new
Two early model Hoover Constellations in very good shape with attachments.
Coffee can Hoovers.
A beautiful Hoover 150 with original box and all attachments.
A beautiful Hoover 28 with box and all attachments.
A Hoover Areodyne Model 51 with all attachments in original box
There are a number of Airways.
A number of Electrolux models.
A Compact -- I think C-6
Many others


Some pictures below.

I will post some additional pictures in the future.

For I can not be there. Good luck with your sale.

Please do not give leftovers to GoodWill. They will end up tossing them. Give leftovers to a local vac shop. Please, make sure these go to a good home.

if I were nearby...

I would have given you whatever I had for that 1C Kirby. I am in Florida though, and I just came across this... if it's still there, would you ship?

The Vacuum Palooza was amazing. Donnie and I packed the car full. Thanks again to Father Bruce for his awesome sale and wonderful friendship. Dinner at Corkys barbecue was fantastic.

Vacuum Palooza

We had a blast today at the Vacuum Palooza. I rode with Tyler AKA Gsohoover, and we left with a car full of treasures. Many thanks to Father Bruce for inviting us and sharing his machines with us. Here are the machines I got.

What's left?

I saw this post a few weeks ago, but I forgot about it until I just looked at it again. I don't look on here very often lately. I mostly like canisters, such as Electrolux, kenmore, rainbow, etc, but some uprights too. Just wondered what was left over, and how long you have to get rid of them, or if you already did. I live 100 miles east of Memphis in Mcnairy County, but I grew up in Bartlett. If there's anything I really wanted I might could arrange to come, but not positive. Let me know if anything is still available. By the way... Happy birthday, Tom G. Hope it was a good one.... Looks like it.

Tyler and I finished polishing up the 516.

compact

If you ever want to sell the compact please let me know. Thank you

 

[dysonman1]

I grabbed the Automatic E and the Compact for the two guys who were asking about them. I have the ability to pack and ship. Send me an email guys. The rest of the vacuums, the many that are left, are being brought to St. James to be given away at the vacuum cleaner convention, the second weekend in June at the vacuum cleaner museum.

birthday

Happy birthday Tom, was it May 20? That's my dad's brithday as well. If I could have driven, I would have been there for sure, unfortunately, being blind, that's not possible, at least not until the self driving cars become available. Since I'm not a fan of uprights, the canisters would have been my interest, probably the Electrolux and airway models. There's a particular Ametek motor that was used on many vacuums from the 1950's through the 1970's by many manufacturers, I would love to find a vacuum that uses that motor, very nice sound. Have all the vacuums gotten new homes? If you have any canisters left and are willing to ship, I may be interested.
Mike

 

[dysonman1]

Thanks Mike. Yes, it was May 20. That is also Cher's birthday. Can you believe she's 103? Anyway, I have a Compact for you, which I will give you at the convention, with the motor that you love in it. Father Bruce had two of them.
