Beautiful Penncrest!!

That stove with the 68 in front of it is actually at Greg Nunn's house. Thats a 1959 Frigidaire Custom Imperial range. The vacuum belongs to Fred and Robert now, but was in the possession of Greg for a while here in omaha.

That's quite an assortment of Hoover Juniors. It's too bad a headlight model never found it's way to "the other side of the pond."

Mazeltov- Just standing in admiration.

Dear John- (The Hoover guy) from Pennsylvania-

Looking at your posts, I am quite amused by the fact that we as vacuum cleaner collectors also treasure the fine art or appreciation of antique furniture.

Your collection of Victorian style and hand carved furniture as seen in the postings, are truly amazing. You have excellent taste and put the items together with great detail in an era of precision, hence not just art deco with Victorian and make it look like a fruit salad.

Well Done.

Adrian, at the same time, I can walk into a room full of beautiful, priceless antiques and art, but if there's a vacuum cleaner in there that will be the first (and possibly only) think I'll notice and pay any attention to!

Adrian,

I appreciate that compliment,  VERY much. Some of those pics were taken amidst renovations, thus. the mess.  Things are getting better.  Of course,  a HOOVER adds a nice decorative touch in any room.  Things are a little better here now.

recent restoration Hoover 652

Today I finally get my oldest Hoover 652 completely restored.
The guy who did all this work had to use some part from an other vacuum.
Now, this one works like a brand new machine.

some parts come from 652 A other parts from 652 E

very nice, Olivier

Enjoy!!

thanks John

The power of suction is unbelievable. Some days I'll find the complet carpet inside the bag....
The restoration work by the guy is really good.
I gave to him another work to do... to restore an old Hoover 612.
He is slow to restore but the result is perfect.

I saw an old blue Hoover 638 for a cheap price. I do not know yet if I want it or not. I prefer my 652 models.

And, I DID get your email about those 2 "Seniors".

I have 2 of them. The "British" cleaners I'd like to get are: a Senior "ranger", and a "Dirtsearcher". Someday.....

John, if I had the funds I would buy them and send them to you myself!!  Heck, if I had the funds I'd come over WITH the cleaners to visit.  But alas, just now I do not.
