Not really a collector...just want one nice one...505 would be ideal but would like anything from mid 40s to early 50's...saw a 2C for sale on eBay but it looked too messed with and too expensive |

When you describe your preferred timeframe of Kirby vacuums wanted as being "mid 1940s to early 1950s," you are thinking along the lines of models 505 to (1st series) 513.
The 513, produced from 1953-54, saw changes made to it on a "running change" basis (4.0 amp motor, different Kirby logo on nameplate, and red handle grip), so perhaps you'd want to find one with a 3.0 amp motor and grey handle grip instead of one with a 4.0 amp motor and red handle grip. ~Ben |

Here's an old 509 in Mansfield Ohio for ten dollars. It looks a little rough, but bringing them back to life is half the fun of owning them. CLICK HERE TO GO TO d-jones's LINK on Mansfield Craigslist |

I would be interested in the 561-but don't know what to offer for it. |
