Wicked cool!

I had no idea there was those little tag thingies! Were probably infused with the box on my 575. Did recover the original spare belt connected to its card and some other goodies.

Could you pretty please give us a closeup of those two tags. Would love love love to read them!

I've got a Royal that's 100 years old if it's a day; doesn't have a brush roll or anything, just a metal nozzle. It works well enough but the motor brushes are shot and they were the one thing I didn't get to fix. I had to make a whole new bag for it since the old one had rotted in to pieces.

 

[vac_whisperer]

How did you make the bag?

 

[red_october]

Out of something called duck cloth. I had the original as a sort of template; there was enough left to get the idea of the shape and where the seams were. Then it was just a little work on my mom's old Singer sewing machine since the stuff was too tough to sew by hand.

old bags

I wish someone could authentically reproduce the old bags and stenciling, especially the Hoover round sateen bags from the teens and early 20's.

Hoover Convertible Model 69

Model 69 is the oldest I have. And, it is in mint condition. Early Convertibles were so beautiful.

I believe my oldest vac would have to be my Electrolux XXX.
