The Lark model 14 is relatively rare.

What would indeed be a rare find is a 120-volt North American version of the British Hoover Harlequin canister. These were definitely sold on Canada in the 1960's or 1970's and came with that really cool wire attachment carrier!
Anyone have one in their collection?

I have a Concept One, 240 volt UK model u4201, I need a brushroll for it and the sticker decal for the cleaning head, but it works reasonably well. Here's my unboxing...

They aren't that rare, they aren't massively common either, they turn up on eBay quite a bit.

In addition to that light blue Convertible…
…some other rare US Convertibles include the 714 (1967 or '68), promo 706 ('69-'71), and 1032 (early 70s, not sure of exact year). I also believe that there were some gold U4001s with a groovy bag pattern, and, since I own one like this myself, some U4089s apparently had the same groovy bag. Might anyone know how rare these actually are? I did see a photo of one some time ago on VL. Probably an old thread.

Question for John;
Why do some Hoover constellation's have the hose connection on the very top center, and some down lower, on an angle? Is it a difference in model years, or American vs. British makes?

The early Connies had that hose connector
on the top. It was referred to as the "snorkle", as, that is what it resembled. Later, that big 'neck' was frefined to the one we all knew. A few yrs ago, when Constellation" returned briefly, it still connects the same way, but, the coupling is simpler.
Glad to be of help.

That was the beginning.
Then, the more popular is................. Removing that snorkle was a big cost reduction.

Thank's John, darn it.
The blue one with the snorkel is the one I pitched in the trash when I was only 14.
