 ~ Here's a GORGEOUS, STUNNING, INCREDIBLE Electrolux Model XXX currently on eBay at $405.00 that has another day to go. It's 100% complete and original with many of the optional accessories and paperwork. I hope the seller gets a really good response to this beauty. I've been drooling over it ever since it was first listed. It's without a doubt the finest XXX that I've ever seen on eBay. CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux137's LINK on eBay | ||

~ I have found a few vacuum cleaners over the year in similar condition and some in even better condition. Sometimes people had a second vacuum cleaner for use as an upstairs machine or at a summer cottage and it was infrequently used. Or perhaps a vacuum cleaner was given as a bridal gift that was put away and never used because the newlyweds already had one.
Some years ago I found a Singer R-3 in absolutely brand-new condition. It was only occasionally used in a mountain vacation home. When the owners passed away their estate went up for auction, including that stunning Singer. (See photo.)
As for literature with this XXX, most of it is original to that version -- the only things that are not original are the early black and silver instruction manual -- which actually is from an earlier version -- and the post card which came from a museum in New York who mounted an exhibition of Streamline-era household artifacts about 25 years ago. The exhibit may still be showing -- I don't know. (See link.)

I think it would be rude and bad form to ask him about my assumptions...especially if I'm not interested in the machine. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong in this case.
Charlie makes a good plea that the guy is a straight shooter, so I'll just acquiesce.

~ P.S.: Something many people may have overlooked on this Model XXX is that it has the very first model of the automatic cord winder.
The first model was branded "Cordamatic," the company that manufactured them for Electrolux. See first photo below, from the listing.
Very shortly after the cord winder was introduced, the brand name on it was changed to Electrolux with their distinctive logo. See second photo below, found on Google. This post was last edited 02/09/2017 at 02:34 | ||
