Found this old Hoover in a friends house he just purchased. Any idea how old it is?

Good to see the Original Bag Ask the more experienced collectors to tell you how to polish the Bakelite. That thing will look great cleaned up. The original bag on those 28's is key because everything else can be repaired or found readily on eBay. Here is mine with a generic HouseAid bag.

 ~ That's a TERRIFIC find -- the original bag is as scarce as hens' teeth!! A little TLC at the Sweeper Day Spa will restore this Faded Beauty to her former glory! I have two of them I want to restore but can't find original bags for them. I've had several others come and go over the years, with slight variations in trim details. | ||

Beautiful model 28! Made from 1946-1950. Enjoy it, it'll last another 60+ years with simple service! So cool to see the original bag! Love my 28, great for daily use...super light weight. Three of my favorite 28 ads...

My grandparents had one of these, that I think my aunt had, that my cousin has been keeping at their lakeside cabin for the last 30-years . . . | ||
