Vintage vacuums

[PremiumFindsr]

Hello everyone. so recently I found these vacuums clearing out an old storage locker. I figured this would be the place to learn more about them and maybe find someone who is interested in buying them. any infromation would be very helpful thank you!

Kirby Heritage

The one on the left is a Kirby Heritage from 1981-1984.  It looks like you're missing the power cord.  I already have one, and in my humble opinion, it is one of the worst performing models Kirby ever produced.  This is the last model to feature an Emptor (trap door underneath the dirt bag), which got scratched after Kirby changed to only disposable bags on their machines.  If yours has the disposable bag upgrade, it has compromised airflow and thereby poorer performance than the typical Kirby.  Probably not worth much, especially in that condition with the missing cord.


 


Not sure about the other one, but it kinda looks like a Royal.  I don't know much about that brand.  Good luck.

Hi and welcome to VacuumLand!

My name is Benjamin, but you can call me Ben. I have a few vacuums I'd like to give up in favor of that Heritage. I live in the 97267 area.

The vacuums in question are:
1988 Stark Deluxe 5000NA (gray bag/black trim)
1982 Hoover Concept One Power Drive U3105

I think this person is not a collector, just found these in a storage locker and is looking to sell them.

I have a Heritage with ALL attachments except the hose.  Let me know if such a Heritage peaks your interest, although I also would prefer to sell or trade for a 500 series Kirby.



Cheers.
