Haven't seen this many since I was a kid and vacuum store owner needed to clear his place out before retiring. |

Those machines look pretty gruff--at least get a leaf blower if you're going to have a sale! Still, I would be a liar if I said I wouldn't be like a little kid in a candy shop there. |

What I'm really eager to see is the machines at the back of the pile. There could be treasure back there..... Where are the canisters? Not a single one in the pile! |

i see several Hoover Concept models. the vac dealer may not be able to make a good profit by reselling these, but that doesnt mean they arent fixable and a hell of a cleaner. |

The owner of this amazing time capsule Vacuum Store, Allan County Sweeper Co was Dale Skaggs, who recently passed on. I visited there once with Robert Knox and was staggered by the vintage uprights and canisters handing from the ceiling, crowding the floorspace and shelves in the front showroom...and then there was the back room 'warehouse' piles to the ceiling behind the garage bay doors. Took many pictures. The shop, a 1930s Garage/Car Dealership, sat at the edge of the General Electric Factories, now abandoned. Must have been some glory days when the factories were at full tilt.
Anyway, this thread gives all the current information we have at this point...
