Nice finds. I especially like the Orange/Red Eureka canister vacuum.

I never knew Hoover made a Spirit in those vivid colors. That must be the Miami, FL edition. LOL. (my attempt at humor)

found more today

went back to a house sale I went to on sat, did not see much but some westinghouse tools and hose in a closet in the bacement. so I tought I would go back today and look better in the closet, and try to buy the tools. wel I looked better in the closet and found the vacuum to. now I have two of them. its in ok shape a little rust on the inside. it still works good. for 2.00 I could not go roung. I hope to clean it up a bit on monday.

Chris, what good luck you have! What great finds. Some of those older Pa and NY towns have some hidden treasures.
Congratulations !

Chris, I love the Hoover Dimension and the Spirit! I love my Spirit, it is a basic model. All the rest of your things are too great to be believed.
