Vacuum Store Clean Out 2020

[gregvacs28]

I keep thinking how fun it would be to rummage through this store.  


 


There must be a movie that could be made of this.  The stories that go along with how it all came to be is just as interesting.


 


You're like a 7 hour drive one way.....


hmmmm.

I just seen your post. I'll call tommorow. I was wondering if I could get all the items at once because shipping is going up on Monday I guess. With a royal cannister, compact attachments, 1 or 2 Kirby bags and or machines and perhaps a old royal or p a geir handvac.
I'll call tommorow touch base again. The royal sounds great. Bearings are easily fixed.

[madman]

Jimmy, you're KILLING me with these Cadillacs! I want the tanks, but I don't really have room. Or money. Will think about it.

 

[lesinutah]

Busy

I worked on my rainbows, worked on my 515 green machine, changed belt
On 880 played halo, slept and drove an hour to get a large shelving unit to put all my vacuum items and here I am.
I spaced today. I see you didn't post either. Your always busy I bet.
Les

 

[rugsucker]

Les,

I will get some items moving your way but not all are found or ready.Did not see the red/black Royal where I thought it was but found a full size blue/chrome Royalaire tank.Should have 1 or 2 straight suction Royal hand vacs.Also have 2 local customers wanting modern rebuilt vacs and 3 Rainbows to service.
madman,
Looks like possibly 6 Cadillac tanks but most are private label.All similar but different handle style,nameplates,colors,etc.

Hey

The royal tank, handvac, compact attachments Kirby and or Kirby bags, with a straight suction royal I would not need a red and black royal upright I have one I just have to assemble.
I'd like it all at once if possible. Sorry busy at work were working underground in a tunnel running plumbing I don't get service.
I will try tommorow. If the least I'll email you.
Thanks
Les

A very little more--

--of much,much MORE!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Any news about the Constellation

box?

 

[hoover300]

Ooohh

That elite is AWESOME!

 

[lesinutah]

Wow

A singer and Kenmore cannisters.
I have never heard of a wizard it looks like a private label kenmore.
The elite vacuum company vacuum looks like it's from 1910s. I've never heard of that manufacturer before.
Wow

Constellation box--

--I have several original vac boxes.Some can be put back with the vac that matches serial number on box,other will be put with same model to have the vac as complete as possible(hose,attachments,original bag package,owners manual,etc).
Elite--One of my very few OLD vacs.A flea market dealer that was a customer called and said she found a "really old"vac at an estate sale at an old farm house.I asked what it was and she said "Elite".This was when Hoover Elite was in all dept stores and I thought you think this is an old vac!!Then I think it could be a Hoover Convertible Elite from 70s.So that weekend I go to flea mkt an she says that vacuum is on the seat in van.She was right.It WAS "really old"!
Wizard--Is the style introduced by Eureka in early 50s.Later labeled for Western Auto.

 

[rugsucker]

This weekend was--

--mostly in the attic.
Found that one of the Kirbys hiding in the corner is 516 with gray cord/red ends and probably original bag.
Coming soon if any are interested(& GOING SOON if any are not)will be--
Regina,Viking,Vorwerk,Bissell,Shetland broom & hand vac,Hoover Convertible hoods and Elite upper bodies,hoods,outer bags and then more & MORE.

I am still interested in the Kirby I circled above. But I might also like the original 516 you found depending on the price for both.
