This is also, an incredibly whimsical document. Some really cute illustrations/graphics throughout! |

Fred -
I notice that they use the term "lend you this Handbook....". Were they given to service people/dealers and expected them to RETURN them to the Company? Why in the world would they make THAT assumption?
Somewhat related: I noticed yesterday that I have one (minus instructions, etc.) with schematics that include a washer, refrigerator, irons, toasters, etc.... |

If there are any advertising brochures, that would be great. By that I mean those pamphlets that department stores and vacuum dealers used to mail out to people. They usually have lots of info in them about model numbers, features, etc.
Also....Robert, are there any plans to ever scan your Sears catalogues? Is it possible to duplicate those images? The ones I copied in the 80's (that were from the 20's through the 40's) were very bad copies and are on that funny electrostatic paper, and they are now starting to "fade".

Although its a US manual a lot of info especially for the older models is relevant to the UK. Fascinating :) Seamus |

Hi John, yes at some point I do want to scan the Sears Catalogs. The problem is to scan them properly and get a high quality image, I have to take the catalogs apart. So I'm hesitant to do that to the catalog collection quite yet, but eventually I will give in a start that process.
We don't have a ton of vintage vacuum sales literature, but I certainly will post it as I find it. |
