Well I have never seen it's kind in the UK, not on a Hoover anyway. Other manufacturers have had removable bent wands which meant the user could configure the tubes with the bend at the brush end, which was marvellous for high level dusting, but I didn't see this on a UK Hoover. | ||

I actually found a similar one![]() upstairs in the soon-to-be HOOVER gallery. It went on a 28. They did away with all of that in the 1960's. Both standard and deluxe models had straight tubes. The deluxe set had the telescoping wand, dusting brush, and a different upholstery brush (the one with the rubber teeth).Later, with the front conversion tools, some had the curved wand/tube. I re-discovered all of these while perusing the upstairs room... TONS of hidden treasures. I'll post pics soon in a different thread.

John,![]() the 1076 is upstairs at the moment, with the others.10 of them are in the upstairs hall. This was not from AB. This came with a matching Handivac, long bag, handle grip. I'll do some more photos soon. It was 90 degrees when these pics were taken.Thought I was gonna die!I'll bring up some more 'vault cleaners' for a play date with yours.

bent extension tube FYI The 1977 Hoover Floor Care catalog shows attachments sets U5909 (DAM) and sets U4903 and 4901 (Convertible) as having the "curved" aluminum wand. I could never figure out how to use the floor brush with this set! | ||

Hoover timeline? How about an Electrolux Timeline!!! Check out this video I threw together with some old Electrolux's I had lying around, in order to show a little VACUUM DARWINISM! Ever wonder where your contemporary vacuums come from? Check out the video...
