Help Support VacuumLand:
Beleive this subject has been asked before-but anyway here goes-Kirby G3 in my collection from a TriStar dealer-Mini Emptor clogged-debris caught on and wrapped around a long dead,stiff baby snake.Vac shop-Former Vacuum Cleaner Hospital--Restuarant vacuums-Sanitaire-Half of a mouse in the fancase-other half in the bag-someone picked him up-got chopped by the fan.Carpet Pro vacuum-About an hour of time by Bill and I to clean out the remains of a HAMBURGER.And a paper sign on the vacuum says----"This is not a magic vacuum cleaner-do not try to pick up large items with it-and check the bag before use"Guess it didn't like "burgers.
Yard sale Oreck-Completely destroyed fan and fancase.Bag autopsy revealed MANY coins-few were Quarters.Lots of spent .22 cartridge casings.3 keys--What did they go to?then pins,nails,screws and many small pebbles.
A Kirby G 6 that was brought to the Vac Hospital---long clogged and stuffed bag-paper bag burst.Owner was a woman that was sick for 6 months-her grandkids did the housework.Someone didn't tell them that the Kirby bag has to be replaced when filled---another "Magic Vacuum?"Cleaned out the stuff from the bag-and put in a new bag-machine was fine.

The home of Electrolux!
Got it.
The Electrolux Corporation was located in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. The factory was beside the railroad track that went between New York, and Boston. Originally this was the Dalton lathe and tool company, then it was the Welte Tripp organ company (pipe organs), finally, in 1932 it became Electrolux. The model XXX (30) was the first all American made Electrolux. Prior to that they were made in Seeden.
As for Wallingford, this is where the school, Choate/Rosemary Hall is located. When I was a kid my grandpa bought all the vacuum cleaners for Choate. They were Electrolux and Kirby.
