That Ultralux is certainly a beauty! I've been scouring around for a decent one that the seller isn't wanting an arm and a leg for, I think that the metal Ultralux vacs are really good looking machines. Nice post!

Kirby Tradition
I polished it myself last year. It looks almost brand new!

I love that Kirby
That Tradition is beautiful! I have a Heritage II that I'm fixing up myself and I can only hope mine turns out a fraction as nice as this one! What polish are you using on it?
On a different note, Bud I was in your neck of the woods today...we visited some family in Middletown, OH today!

Most Beautiful Vintage Vacuums
In My Opinion - are the Air-Way uprights. From left, Air-Way "Chief", "Super Chief", "Zephyr" and "DirtMasteR". Fifty years ahead of their time.

So ugly it's pretty
The 1984 Cyclon 1000. Serial number 46. First bagless dual cyclonic upright in the world. It's hideously ugly, but very endearing.

Most beautiful canister vacs
In my opinion, are the Rexair Series A (brown - no water used in this one) and Model B (Black with optional wheeled 4 quart pan).

The Rainbow dealer near me has some Rainbow vacuums like the ones shown in a large wooden case.Another beautiful vacuum in the picture-the purple AirWay in the background!

The first Rexair, Series A, began selling in October, 1936. The first serial number was 1001. All Rexair serial numbers are consecutive The first serial number for the model B (Launched in April, 1940 - called "The Black Diamond Model" by the company) was around the 172,000 mark.
Model A's do NOT have a front nameplate, only a nameplate under the handle. The 'legs' are painted wrinkle brown, as is the hose intake port. On model B's, these would all be polished aluminum.

Extra large diameter cord, Belden plug.

First models did NOT use water. They were dual cyclonic (like Dyson claimed he 'invented' 50 years later). In April, 1937 - customers were given the diaphragm (seen to the right of the pan), and told to fill the pan half way with water. The diaphragm was inserted into the top of the pan, and brought the airflow UNDER the water level. Since the machine was never made with the intention of using water - the entire top of the pan is open to facilitate emptying. The original intent of Rexair was to create a vacuum that had NO bag and No Loss of Suction.

Model A and pre World War II model B's - had a screw keeping the upper hooks that hold the 'lid' in place, from being opened. You can always tell a pre-war model by these screws.

You had to remove the screw once every three months (again, just like Dyson directs) to remove the "Muffler" (a post motor filter that removed carbon brush residue from the exhaust air.

The "Muffler" was washable. Just rinse, allow to dry, and replace.

My 560 without question. All she needs is an industrial polish and she's perfect. 100% original too!
Next to my Dyson.

The underside of the lid was a 'cage' that allowed the Muffler to expand. The lid was simplified with the removal of this cage after the war, when the Muffler was also discontinued - just as Dyson found out, people don't wash them (out of sight, out of mind).

Good morning Tom.
First let me say that I really like that ring, simple yet stunning! And speaking of stunning, those upright Air-Ways are awesome.
As you probably recall, I have several Air-Ways both upright and canister, which unfortunately have been in storage since November of 06. Plans are in the works to bring them here in about 5 weeks. Since I'm deep in the woods of PA., a professional buffing is not possible. Any ideas on how I can get my Air-Way's, as well as a lot of other vacuum cleaners looking half as good?
And here's a place you might remember.
Thanks,
Alex Taber.

Thanks Alex. I do remember that garage, converted in the first vacuum museum. We had so much fun running all the different machines. So many that I had never seen before. That little oriental rug sure got a workout that weekend of my first convention. I'm surprised there's any nap left on it at all.
I use Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish because that's what Stan Kann used. But there's a secret. You liberally apply the compound (with a rag), then LET IT DRY. After a half hour, remoisten the rag, and go in circles with the rag getting darker and darker. You WANT the rag to turn black, that's what's doing the shining. A clean soft rag to buff off the compound, and the machine is ten times brighter. The letting it dry part was what Stan taught me, and you remember how beautiful all his machines were.

For me, its gotta be my Hoover 1346, from 1967, only made in this colour scheme for a short time in 1967, it has the pumpkin orange front plate and brown bag, such a lovely colour scheme from that era. I love this little Junior, its my favourite vintage model

Most beautiful vacuum cleaner?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and for me that means two things. Design, and historic value. My favorite vacuum cleaner bar none is the Electrolux LX, but when it comes to historical value, as well as simple, basic design, I have to say that it's the Whirlwind. No, this is not a Hoover model, Hoover wasn't even thought of back then. The Whirlwind is the oldest known vacuum cleaner, or if not the oldest, the first mass produced cleaning device for home use.
I've posted this picture several times, but for those who don't know about the non-electric's, here's the history. Ives W. McGaffy, of Chicago, Illinois, invented a simple wooden upright, hand cranked sweeping machine. The year was 1869, and two years before the Great Chicago fire of 1871. The Whirlwind was manufactured by The American Carpet Cleaning company of Boston that same year, and sold for $25.00. A fortune back then!
Here it is.
