Hello everyone!

Thought I would share two Hoover's I found earlier this year.

The first is the famous Hoover model 750! This came off Denver Craigslist. I was shocked to see it! It is in really nice shape, and was maintained and kept in the correct environment. So when it made it into my hands, it just needed minor service, and a good buffing job. This 750 also has the Cleaning Tools! I am saying they were maybe only used once, if that. In all the years I have seen Hoover Cleaning tool boxes from the 20's and 30's, I have never seen one as clean and spot free as this one.

The 2nd, is a Hoover model 475, a ALL ORIGINAL 475! This was made possible by the generosity of another collector. It sounds wonderful and looks just lovely. The pictures are all one needs to see to know how pleased I was to receive this!

Very nice!!!

I love my Hoover 475, I bought it for $20, since then I bought 2 spare lower bearing plates and put new horsehair in the brush roll brushes.
