I believe that is the model 184, according to the serial #. Someone else may tell you the exact year, but around 1912? Very rare as mentioned, only made 2,799 of them according to the serial # range. Quite valuable.

This marvelous specimen of "early HOOVER" has found a new home. It now resides in the home of my very dear friend, the one and only Mr. Tom Anderson of North Canton, Ohio. It will grace his wonderful collection along so many other specimens. If any of you has seen his collection, you'll agree that it is truly a spectacle..... almost a museum in itself. When I visit Tom later this summer, I'm sure he'll have it looking and operating at peak efficiency. I'll surely take photos, perhaps even of me running it. Won't that be "fun"? Just think: a "HOOVER BABY" and a "Baby HOOVER" in the same home. Hoover..."You'come a long way, Baby". John |

that's got to be one of the oldest hoover i've ever seen on the forum here, next to the model o, and certainly much more rare. im glad tom's getting it john. i talk with him for a few hours on the phone the other day.. wonderful amount of hoover knowledge and passion for the company. i have a similar passion for delta airlines myself..
