And finally, the "power plant", bag, and handle unassembled. I haven't decided if I'm going to even assemble it, leave it in the box, use it... so many decisions!

Smelling salts.... Followed by a perfect margarita for me please! The only thing that would've been better had it been a new Hoover in box, but I'm sure you can still appreciate it! Now that I think about it, do you even own a Kirby? | ||

My Heritage II has the old-style nozzle. Given the smaller emptor and improved fill tube design, I find the Heritage II to be superior to the original Heritage. I'm actually fixing up my Heritage to foster to a new home.

Equal opportunity collector.... Good for you Fred! I just didn't remember seeing any when I was at the house. I must've confused you with someone else that just collects Hoover! I was thinking of Mr. Long..and I know of one other here in the states. (ducks and runs) This post was last edited 05/17/2016 at 17:44 | ||

It's amazing what treasures pop up at the thrift stores from time to time. Haven't been quite that lucky but have found quite a few rare birds from the goodwill! Excellent find and I'd love to see it all buffed up some time! | ||
