1947 Apex....my childhood vacuum. My mother received it as a wedding shower gift. Kept it until 1962 when she bought a Hoover Convertible Model 68. The Apex went to my Dad's office for another 16 years. |

Ben Looks like your picture of the day needs a little TLC and some Elbow grease. Lets see that Kirby Omega shine like a mirror. |

I'm one to talk. I have 14 Kirby's All but 2 need the full spa treatment. Time and space have been limited but will get to them eventually. |
