gregvacs,
"--auctioneer--"---If this was rare & valuable pottery that recently filled a local auction house with high bidders or a house next to the golf course with a mix of furniture,antiques,art,clothes,kitchen items,china,tools,vintage toys,etc that draws large crowds almost every week in our region it would be simpler.But this is vacuums.Most somewhat rare and collectible from 1920s to modern with a limited amount of collectors scattered over the country.I would welcome a fast fingered EBay seller with good feedback.I again ask that those here do not keep this a secret.I am beginning to search for groups of Kirby,Hoover and other collectors.But I still have to sort items and match,hoses,attachments,parts,bags & literature when available.I welcome any suggestions and look forward to the 2 collectors that are planning trips.
GE1969,
"--lime green and taupe--"---I have counted as many as 14 color combinations among my Constellations but have never found lime green.Do have several Slimline(maybe green) and many Portables with even more pretty colors.

Jimmy,
Thanks for the reply on the Regina canisters. I am pretty sure I bought some really nice things from you in the past when the lady who's name escapes me was listing items for you on eBay. She was very nice and it was a pleasure doing business with her.
I understand you need to empty the old spot out as a priority. I would be interested in the deluxe models in the future.
Take care Jimmy!

Jimmy,
I noticed a Electrolux straight suction hose in photo 13 of your latiest pic number 6 over from left to right. Do you know if that hose is still air tight? The hose looks to be in good condition. I have been looking for one that is air tight.
Thanks much!
Richard.

I have those and many more original hoses to match various Elux.I would not expect them to be air tight but would be good for display to complete an original att set or to attempt repair of inner lining OR most will go in dumpster SOON.

Kirbys!!!
These just came down from attic.Does not include Kirbys on stairs in previous pic.Missing nozzles,etc are probably here as are a few MORE.Only 2 of these are generic bags.I am not an expert if the genuine bags are correct for each model.At least 2 are not.

Bags
Hi, Jimmy.
Do you wish to keep the bags with the units, are are you willing to part with the original bags alone? Specifically the 511, 517, 560, D50 ones? And how much would you want, if you were willing to part with them

David,
Would probably try to keep the nicer Kirbys complete.Am still finding Kirby parts.Should be a box of older Kirby cloth bags and a NOS orange Heritage bag.Will try to keep prices reasonable after considering condition.A couple of bags today had problems but most seem good or very good.

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.

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.
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,
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

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.

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.

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.
