What is your biggest vintage find ever???

[kirbyfan99]

My biggest find is a good, free package deal from my grandma: my 1985 hoover custom convertible with a pack of type a standard filtration bags and a 2 pack of durabelt brand hoover style 48 belts (I don't recommend those belts, btw, as, when brand new, they are a PITA to put on as you need to take out the brush and put the belt on the motor shaft then, with the belt on the brush, put the brush back in place also the motor doesn't run as smooth because they are thicker than the OEM belts)

Will,

I can also see a Clarke (Royal) metal upright, a variation of the model 153, in one of your Kirby pictures. I know it was sold by Clarke because the usual hammertoned or bare aluminum parts of the motor and handle were painted red.
