I don't know much about the Electrolux banks aside from the fact they are very cool. I have looked at them on eBay myself. They are simply the cutest things. |

I have never seen a bank or anything similar for the E or AE. I do have an ash tray with a Model F on it. I also have a set of tie clasp and cufflinks with the E, and another set with the AE. |

"Ghost Busters" toy vac. I always thought the designers of this modeled it after a Lux 30/LX. You also see a ghost figure on a clear stand brandishing a dust-buster! |

When you press the latch on front, the top of the canister opens up and another ghost pops up, brandishing a mop! (also note the black hose, which has a maroon nozzle on the end) |

Somewhere around here, I have (or had) the Lux XII leatherette bank that looks like a small leather-bound volume, but I don't know what's become of it. |

Charles~Richard, your collection is fascinating, not boring. Did Hoover have models in addition to the upright tape measures? I saw a couple at a repair shop, the man didn't mention tape measures. I always wanted a Constellation tape measure, and now the GE Swivel-Top and Reach-Easy ones also. Or the sewing kits. Keep 'em coming!

I never realized how many miniatures were made over the years. I do have a few myself, including a Hoover Constellation tape measure, Matchbox Hoover truck (Ford Model T), and a turquoise Electrolux G bank, which is the most cherished of these, because my uncle gave it to me when he was selling Electrolux. It's amazing too, the detail some of them had, especially the mini Kirbys and the GE Swiveltop sewing kit, and the Lux banks. Jeff |

And lastly (I think) the upright carrying bag. Does anyone know if they made one for the canisters? Next to the bag are a few paper bags with advertising cardboard collers. |
