What are you oldest most cherished vacuums?

[collector2]

Just an FYI for Daniel to begin with - Your Goblin Triumph model 46 was made from 1945-1950.

My oldest machines would be my Goblin Model 40 from the 1920's, My Electrolux Model 11 from 1926 and my Tuec stationary cleaner from 1912.

My oldest is my 1973 hoover junior 1346A. My most cherished? It's a tough choice between my 2011 sebo X1.1 ( I know that's going to get a few eyes rolling) and my 1993 Hoover Turbopower Boost U2716. I honestly can't be bothered o get pictures, sorry.

not my oldest, but most loved. The silverado. Had the compact c4? since mom got it in 59 I want to say.

'48 Lux XXX.
My grandparents bought it new from a salesman. They went 50/50 on the payments with my great grandparents and shuttled it between them every other week.
I have it now.

Lewyt for collectors

Nice thread. My favorite is an Electrolux G model- I still use it but am having a hard time getting parts. I have a newer 'lux, but also have my grandmother's Lewyt, and I'd like to get it on to a new home/collector. Please respond if you could use a Lewyt or know a starting collector who could use it. Sorry, not attachments or box. Andrea Morris
