I was just clearing out my parents house and found they're unused Hoover. My Mother used to work for Hoover and left in the early 70's and this was her leaving gift. I am looking to sell and thought I'd check if you had any advice or interest. Thought ebay would be the place to sell it. Thanks Mark

machine.My advice is keep it.

Hi Mark,

Great story, great cleaner! eBay would be your best shot as this gives everyone a fair chance to bid for it.

Hi Matt...

I agree, If you don't want to hold on to it yourself I'd put it on ebay. I'm sure it would do well. I would take a few more pictures (Like under the motor unit where the brush roll is located etc) if you place it on ebay as us collectors love looking at pictures.

Nice story!! As Michael wrote, your mom worked for Hoover, maybe she could have helped to make that machine. I'd keep the Junior and cherish it.
My advice is also keep it.

Update on U1012

Thank you all for your replies and advice (had a problem with account now on new profile).

I have decided to sell as I don't have the space and hope that it will go to a good home (good to see there are enthusiasts out there). I have taken some better pictures for ebay sale, let me know if there are any pictures you would like to see before its sold.
