Look at the boxes! Also, note the "wheels" attachment that you could set the Connie on and let it ride around, since it was not a "floater". |

You know I am not 100% sure, it doesn't say Hoover on it anywhere, but it sure fits like it was made by them! I bet Marc or Rick or Fred or Jeff or someone would know, if they happen across this post! |

Stunning condition, Scott. You're right it was maybe used once then put away in the box. There's not a mark on the swivel arm! Amazing.
Any wear marks at all? I recall that kirbyvertibles Phillip Muller had one of those Connie Caddies on eBay last year. (?) Not only did I get outbid on that but a few weeks later a round Constellation manual showed up on eBay and torn from my grasp. :-( Oh well, I'm content with my Canadian 822 with original hose wands & tools. And a bojack manual printed from scans... Dave |

This dolly did come from Hoover as an 'option' and came in a brown corrugated box with 'Hoover' printed in blue all over it, as I recall. Kyle Mathews awesome collection includes the first one I had ever seen first hand and still in its box! Rick |
