Probably the Kirby 505....or the DS-50 since it was my first find. | ||

Ive always loved the styling of the hoovers from the '20s to early '30s. PS: Before i had a vacuumland account, i came across that picture on google images and saved it on my computer. Proof:

That would be my Kirby Model 560. I use it as my avatar. Call me sentimental, but it was manufactured the year I was born -- 1960. Maybe that has something to do with it being my favorite! LOL! The vacuum is in perfect shape and runs like a top too. I also have the full set of attachments. The only thing that isn't original is the four row brush roll. The new style brush roll turned it into a cleaning beast!

The 560 is a beatiful machine. One of my favorites! Of course, any kirby is my favorite. Off topic: Hey, ive seen pictures on the internet of Kirby D-80's colored blue and even red. Have any of you seen these? | ||

No, people are more than welcome to save my pictures - just not to use them online without permission. I'm not about to start policing other content of other people's harddrives!

Wow, that GE is awesome. I've never seen that one before. I like the unique handle setup. Kudos to you for the 800 restoration- I'll bet it's nicer than when it was new. Beautiful. Now I want one! | ||

Electro-Hygiene 903
Actually most of the machines in my collection are favorites for one reason or another, but if I have to pick just one it would be my Electro-Hygiene 903. I've always had a special connection with Electro-Hygiene, but the model 903 upright was the one I used to sell, along with the 966 tank.
Other favorites include Kirby D-50 and Classic III, Lux XXX, AE, and G, Hoover 300, 475, 26, 28, 29, 63, and 82 Constellation, and Royalaire 260. Jeff

My favorite vintage vac. is the Kenmore 'BUG EYE'. I don't have one however, maybe someday if I win LOTTO. I think one sold on EBAY not to long ago for about $600.00. | ||

Kirby D50 in red and blue
I had a vacuum store several years ago and I still have some of the 'bo-jack?' replacement trim kits for the 500-D80 Kirbys. Let me know if you are interested in them.
Anyone out there know where I can get parts for the commercial Kirby called the Super Vac 180? It's the same as the American Lincoln, Super Sweeper and ComVac. I've been looking for one for many years and found one in a thrift store yesterday. It runs well,may need to take it apart and clean and lub. | ||
