All those vacuum cleaners, Are all oddly enough, G-E! (Except for that April 1959 picture).
In order, the first is an early swivel-top, the second a standard tank cleaner (Replaced by the swivel top around the early 1950s), and the 3rd appears to be a model AVF-26 of the late 1940s, that bag doesn't seem original, though. it would've been brown and lighter brown with the G-E logo? Oh, Wait! looking again that's one of those chrome-plated models! you can see one on Vacuumland's homepage, the section with the rotating vacuum pictures! so that bag is original! | ||

No more drag about tragedys! How could I forget!? This old commercial showing how that old G.E tank style was old and knocked your stuff on the floor, smashing it to bits! whereas the NEW G-E Swivel-top cleaner allowed for REACH-EASY CLEANING! CLICK HERE TO GO TO super-sweeper's LINK | ||

Hi Kevin. The two General Electric uprights pictured here (by the 7-Up can) may not be the exact model, or have the same bag, but you get the idea. By the way this was taken at the second annual meeting of the V.C.C.C. in May of 86. Looks like we're taking a break from the business meeting. The picture on the floor was our first club logo.

"[Boys] are [cleaners], too: wokka doo, wokka doo, wokka doo!" (From the song "Kids are People Too", the theme song of "Wonderama", a children's tv show that ran from 1955 - 1986. I don't recognize the vacuum cleaner he's using:

Re: Kenkart's reply (#16) I think he was referring to reply #1. Not sure what vacuum cleaner brand or model this is:

Re: reply #18 -- Thanks, Toby (#19). I wondered about that. Or it could even be an Electrolux Model XIIA. Again, I'm unsure about this brand and model:

Back in around 1977, 78 in People magazine there are pics and an article of Rodney Dangerfield using and holding an Electrolux Golden J, or Super J. I remember the article said he was a vacuum fanatic and did most all of the vacuuming of his house, rather than having his wife or a maid do it, and he always used Electrolux. If i remember right the article says he sold Electrolux's at one time,,i belive it was when he was young and just starting out. Wish i could find that article and pics again, i did save that magazine for yrs, but it finally got lost in a move.
