Just to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone know what the actual color names were for Hoover models 29, 62, 63, & 634 (as they would appear on the spec sheets)? |

Enjoyed your listing of the color schemes of Hoover's lineup for 1950-57. Don't have any corrections, but I do have an addition for you. The Hoover Pixie model 1001, which was part of the blue & grey lineup with the 63 upright and 82 Constellation. I have one, as well as the 29, 62, 63, 64, and 634 uprights, 51 and 42 Aerodynes, and 82 and 84 Constellations in my collection. Here's a pic of my pixie.

I'm not sure about that. I do have a list showing the 1002 as being built from 1953-1955, which would put it in the right era for the blue & grey models, and instead of showing a range of serial numbers, it says "assigned by Perivale." Oddly, the 1001 isn't on the list at all, but also shows a 1015 built from 1950-1956, 2610, 1956 only, 2720 and 2830, both starting in 1957. The list doesn't show individually which of these models were Dustettes or Pixies, it just says "Dustettes and Pixies" at the top of that section in the listing. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but at this point I'm a bit confused.
