Hamilton Beach model 14... anyone know what year this is from?

Post# 129596 , Reply# 2   3/28/2011 at 22:59 (4,749 days old) by HooverCelebrity (Germany)        

Tools... look like they've been used maybe 4 times.

Funny little GE upright, I know noting about this cleaner... but it intrigues me. Haven't even plugged it in yet.. came with bags!

Kirby model 510. Not sure what year it's from, has most of the tools... cord and handle grip aren't original. $5.

Bag seems nice. Original.

((Pardon my fuzzy arm))

2 Hoover tool sets. 3100 and 3250. Dates printed on the boxes are 1958 and 1963. I hoped the model 31 or 65 that went with the 3100 cleaning tool kit was somewhere to be found, but no luck. :-(

And another lonely hose with some straggler attachments.

WOW Fred, the bag on that Kirby looks perfect!! This could could be a 509, 510, 511 or 512. I'm gonna throw out a guess, without seeing the sides and back of the machine -- is it a 509?



Post# 129607 , Reply# 9   3/28/2011 at 23:07 (4,749 days old) by electrolux~137 ()        



Oh heheh, I posted my ? before you finished posting your photos. A 510 eh. What would cliched that was if I could have seen the rear end, to see if there's a "Sweet-Aire" port on the back of the Sani-Emptor. I'm just dyin' here over that bag!!!

510

Fred-
The model 510 you have here was made in 1950. I'd love to have something like that. Very nice find.

Fred I have the earlier version of the model 14, it was left at the Dump and a friend resurected it for me, unfortunately the bag was toast. I will post up a pic soon :-)

Great stuff Fred!!!

Can't you visit for a week or two and take me to some estate sales? That Hamilton Beach hose is gorgeous.

PS I think Nair makes a product for arm fuzz.

Yes, there is a Sweet-Aire port on the back of the emtor... but the little screwy thing that goes in the hole is missing or broken off. Not sure, I'll have to investigate further.

What color cord would this have had originally? And would the handle grip have been black or red? It's 'Tradition Blue' right now... which seems odd.

Fred, that Kirby 510 of yours is BEAUTIFUL!!!

And I am officially jealous of you right now! To find a 510 in that condition, with the bag as nice as it is, is rare.

You lucky son of a gun....Rob

To answer

Fred,
I believe both cord and handle grip would have been a red color. You could if you wanted to take both off of a Classic III and put thoes on this model. Good luck

Fred, the cord would have been grey with dark red ends.

Actually, the original 510 handle grip was dark gray vinyl, and the cord was dark gray rubber - all the same color as the bumper and headlight trim.



Post# 129648 , Reply# 18   3/29/2011 at 01:08 (4,749 days old) by electrolux~137 ()        



And p.s. the cord had a large round machine-end plug, not the flat one like the cord with the red plugs. So yes the Classic III cord would fit, but it doesn't look right because the "hole" for the plug is much bigger than the plug.

Nice score as usual Fred

kenmore81's profile picture
I have seen the GE before, its kinda like the lighter version of the Kenmore Duo. IIRC its quite a bit of power for a little guy. Nice Kirby too!
To bad the 61 or 35 wasn't there to go with the hoses =(
But with you and Rob's luck you will find them. There waiting in closet near you!

What a catch!!!

I'm going to the wrong sales! The Kirby bag looks virtually pristine. That Hamiliton Beach WITH its attachments....how rare is that?! I remember taking a liking to that GE when it was new in the stores. Could I be right in thinking it was sold at Target?

Kirby

Nice Kirby! The 510 was made in 1950.

H B 14

Believe it or not, that 14 was made thru the mid fifties, it looks old fashioned, but they sold it a long time!

The GE was a really cool vac I remember growing up, they where also made and sold in Australia before the GE appliances where taken over by Black & Decker .

I have four GE's in my collection and love them ...

Both of these are US machines I shipped over.

Mark-

What a wonderful collection of GEs.. I'm anxious to get the one I just found cleaned up and working. I do have a GE upright that I found at a sale some time ago which also needs some love to get working again. For the full-size uprights, what kind of belt do you use? If I recall, the belt pulley coming off of the machine is cone-shaped? And the cleaner calls for a flat-belt. Do you have the tools for any of your GE uprights?

That little burgundy Genie looks very much like the Regina Brush & Beat vacuum that was around the US in the 70s.

GE memories

It's amazing how a couple photographs can dredge up a flood of memories.   I had completely forgotten about these machines until I saw the pics here.

 

I remember when the GE vacuums as in replies 32 & 33 were added to the lineup at Target.  I specifically remember being at the store on Robert St. the day a rep was demonstrating them.   I was impressed enough with the performance and features to be swayed from my infatuation with all things Hoover!  The flat belt and cone shaped shaft were supposed to prevent hair and threads from building up, thus preventing belt slippage.   On the full sized models the lever to switch from rug/floor to attachments closed off the air passage to the front of the cleaner in such a way that less suction was lost than the rear-entry Convertibles at the time.   And to top it off, I was flabbergasted that a vacuum without beater bars could remove embedded grit from a rug so well.

At reply #6 & #7, I love the older Hoover stretch hose for the Convertibles. It’s looks longer!

I have one of those stretch hoses for a rear attachment type convertible. Easily longer than a Tufflex hose. Those Ultraflex hoses were great!
