I have the cleaners for their sentimental value, not their financial value. I'd never sell any of them anyway (at least, not the vintage ones, the modern ones I change for time to time!), so it's academic.
Wow ... who knew it would be so easy to research the old vacuum that we just uncovered in our parents' attic. This model was obviously leftover from MY grandparents! And, even better, my nephew discovered the original manual in a bedroom closet.
very nice! I am helping restore an 1899 hotel, and we found an old non-electric machine, and a Hoover 725 deep down in the depths of the storage! Sadly, the 725 had a broken fan and missing the beater bar. some of the bag was still there. I also have the first Kirby. It is a model "C" I have 2.
What a beauty. How much do you think this machine is worth in pounds?

That thing is in amazing condition for its age! Is that your oldest vacuum?

No, I have several older than this - the oldest being the Model 541 from 1923-25. If you go to my Youtube channel, you can find it.

A very very nice vacuum! You can hear it beating at the carpet, can't you, which is more than I can say for a Dyson!
