The stunning Sixties room has been given a new look and feel. Just like we did to the 1970's room last week. Some machines have been deleted, and some added.
I just love this ad for the Air Master Wet/Dry built in vac. Makes you wonder, if she's cleaning the floors in pumps, a cocktail dress, and opera gloves - what do you think she wears to clean the bathrooms? I guessing lingerie.

Jackie Kennedy always dressed like this to clean the wooden blinds in the White House, didn't she?

It couldn't be the 1960's without a Suzy HomeMaker as well as an Easy Bake oven. So much ter-kwazzz.

This is my playground, every day, and I get PAID to play with these machines, and share them with the Public.

Can we play our Supremes records while we dust with our Pixie and our Whisk? Maybe use the Water-Matic?

The Singer Roll-A-Magic sitting on top of two Hat Boxes. When was the last time you saw a Hat Box?

The Air-Way Sani-Magic "Priscilla" - a very rare and awesome machine. One of the best rug nozzles ever made - it was unique to this model (which was also known as The Dirt Digger).

My mom had the green one. A 1959 wedding gift. My aunts was blue, and newer. You know, it may have been a Monkey Wards, because she used to be a credit dept. manager in one. I think her next vacuum was a Wards by Eureka power team tan canned ham. |

How stupid could I be, I accidentally chose the picture of a avocado WE 500 instead of aqua! It's late and I'm tired. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. |

Good eye Richard! A minor tweak, but no less important. How's the Caddy doing? |

Tom, please tell me what year the purple Convertible first came out. (3rd to the right of the "stereo phonograph") My mother had one and I think it might have been a present from her wedding shower in 1960. |

And it's definitely turquois for the 60's, avocado for the 70's. I'm getting homesick. Guess I fire up the Electrolux G. |
