Dave!
No one else could have said it better. And, there are SO many from which to choose. When lots are lined up together, it's like looking at a box of "James' Salt Water Taffy".... they were /are very popular candies sold on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. (Just in case you seemed lost on that).
They styles, color combos were endless. (the cleaners, not the candy). | ||

Bernie!
Fab 28!! That is a 'masculine' machine, sinple, understated and ready to perform. Dave! Thanks, we, asa nation appreciate that. It was so true. But!!! Perivale certainly was no slouch, either. Ye made some wonderful stuff that helped drive HOOVER forward. And, that perfect ART DECO specimen of a building. HOOVER was at the top of the mountain. Times, greed, some unions, China.. all happened. Oneday, I'd love to stand in front of that HOOVER facade as I have often in North Canton, Ohio.It was/is 'American Pride" at its best.
Those other cleaners are great, as well. The Dial-A-Matics , (a few flaws) were phenomenol...set the pace for all the new stuff. Yes, the "Concept" seemed to clear up all of the snafus of the DAMs. | ||

I'd love to visit, really!
And, I'm gonna try to make that a reality. That 150 is amazing!!! I MUST procure one of those.They are fantastic!! I would also like, someday, to get a HOOVER "Senior". One MUST have at least ONE of them. I have a fab "Junior". But, a nice HOOVER from the other side of the 'pond' would surley be a treat. Someday, when opportunity AND funds permit. That's part of the 'fun', isn't it?

And now the fab 28. Still my smoothest running hoover. I got it off ebay and had to do nothing to it. It is impeccably clean, with only a few scuffs, and runs like butter.

Moving through time we get to another one of my favorite eras. The 1950s. When the colors arrived. My mint, all original 63, that Roger in Arizona taught me how to restore. Runs great now.

Another very fine piece of Hoover history is their dedication to extreme quality and sturdiness. There is no other cleaner on the face of this earth that is as solidly built as the beautiful Hoover 913. They run very smooth, and low, and clean quite well.

And now probably the greatest and last of hoovers quality resides within these machines. The power drive, concept, and dial-a-matic eras.

And so concludes some of my hoover nuttiness. I will leave you with a beautiful Hoover 68 similar to my uncles, but far cleaner! In front of the most fitting match of a stove!

Brandon!
Excellent work there. We ALL get our inspiration from others. I'm profoundly flattered that I could contribute SOMETHING to you. You are taking nice photos, too.BUT... you got rid of a 68 ???????????? Remind me to "slap you" when I see you in person. Well, we all 'FALL'. A learning experience. You're sorry and you'll never do that again, right? Your endeavors are, in a word, "impressive".

Hoover coffee cans Were these polished up to a shine when new?
I've got a 700 to restore, was wondering if you shine it up like a Kirby. It's in pretty rough shape, the rubber wheels and bumper have disintegrated.

Shining Coffee Cans
Most of the coffee-can Hoovers, which would include the model 700, were finished in bright polished aluminum and can be re-polished. A couple exceptions might be some earlier and more primitive models with rough-castings (as shown). Then there was the model 541 in 1923 that was introduced with a satin finish, but I've seen some polished as well.
The attached photo, as an example, is of a rough-cast Hoover Baby c.1922. Hope this helps.

get another 700 machine....
with good wheels for parts. Some other older-model Hoover wheels might fit. The good news is that Hoover produced a lot of 700's. It was considered their "super-cleaner" and very popular 86 years ago - many are still in service. I don't consider them to be rare. They appear on Ebay frequently.

Mazeltov- Just standing in admiration.
Dear John- (The Hoover guy) from Pennsylvania-
Looking at your posts, I am quite amused by the fact that we as vacuum cleaner collectors also treasure the fine art or appreciation of antique furniture. Your collection of Victorian style and hand carved furniture as seen in the postings, are truly amazing. You have excellent taste and put the items together with great detail in an era of precision, hence not just art deco with Victorian and make it look like a fruit salad. Well Done.

thanks John
The power of suction is unbelievable. Some days I'll find the complet carpet inside the bag....
The restoration work by the guy is really good. I gave to him another work to do... to restore an old Hoover 612. He is slow to restore but the result is perfect. I saw an old blue Hoover 638 for a cheap price. I do not know yet if I want it or not. I prefer my 652 models. | ||
