The owner of Allen County Sweeper is no longer with us. The vintage vacs have been spared from the dumpster. Unfortunately the vast bone yard of the facility has been junked. Dale's brother Dwayne can be reached at 260-824-4020 for date and time of availability. Dwayne does not know exactly which makes and models are available. No one in the family has the skill the time or the interest to place them on
eBay.
I remember mostly uprights, old pre 1950 uprights, very few Hoovers,few canisters.
I do not know what the asking prices will be. Dwayne also has some vintage vacs at his shop in Bluffton, IN.
What I remember: old GE & Premier, Airway, Regina,Eureka, Kirby, Royal, and a couple brands I had never heard of. Whatever goes unsold will end up in the dumpster. Please do not ask for more specifics. The answer is you will know when you see them. I guestimate about 75 vintage vacs. For the most part the canisters lack hoses and tools. Sorry I cannot provide more information.
I knew Dale for years, he is the reason why I have so many rare and beautiful machines in my collection! I am truly heartbroken to learn of his passing! He was a wonderful person!
