The hair dryer is the same as one my mom used to have only it was blue and the brand was Lady Shick. Think they might've been made by the same company, and who maybe? Rick |

Tom, great finds. I think a trip to North Canton may be in order. You're going to need a warehouse soon to store your collection. |

Seems like there's always an abundance of vacuums to be found in your area. Yes, Norm and I had a great time today! I had been to this museum a few times before, but was thrilled to see that they had added quite a bit to the Westinghouse exhibit. I checked my Westinghouse/WCI book at home and the actual closing of the plant was in 1990. Ranges were last produced there in 1983, dryer production ended in 1988, and washers were produced right up to the closing of the plant in 1990. The office equipment store where we looked at the vacuum collection was in Ontario, across the road from the GM plant. As the owner of the store wasn't in, we didn't get to run any of the vacs (they had a Bison there that I would have liked to check out), but we did enjoy looking at his collection. Tom, you'll be happy to know that several of them were Hoovers, including a 102, 25, 60, 62, Lark, and a Pixie!! And while we were there, I did find a few parts for my recently acquired 512 Kirby, including a suction coupler, upholstery nozzle, short handle, and shoulder strap, and paid only a dollar for the works! We lunched at the Coney Island in downtown Mansfield (told you they were the best Coneys in the world, didn't I, Norm!!), then back to my house for visiting & vacuuming, and Norm found out firsthand what I meant about not having any single place in the house where I could put all of them (even though I only have 28!). And as always, the time went by only too fast, hope we can do it again sometime! Jeff |
