Hey Guys! Well, I've been promising pics of my collection for a while, and now, they're here! First up, some of my Hoovers

Next, a shelf-o-Luxs. This one should make Mr. Charlie Lester happy!

I call this one Up, Up, and Air-Way!! I know, that smells worse than day old salmon!

I don't know what it is about G.E. Swivel-Tops, but they have an almost eerie way of finding me.

Oh my gosh Toby, you really do have quite a collection there. How long did you say you have been collecting? I love all of those beautiful GE colors and the neat Sunbeams that you have. Thanks for sharing you collection with us. What machine is your favorite?

Here's one rare enough that he lives in my bedroom. One of the few Lewyt Electronics in captivity!

Oh Toby, that is one beautiful machine!!! It is safe to use? I am guessing this is the one that caused Lewyt all their troubles. Robert in Minneapolis found this vacuum a while back at a sale but it was missing its power nozzle. Where did you find this one?

with his five star collection! As always, the General Electrics really send me. The Slimlines are tempting too.

Thanks for all the kind words on my collection. Luxg, the Electronic's pn sadly no longer works, I don't know if it's the hose or the extra fields in the motor that have gone, but it never shocked me before, and it was a gift from another collector about 8 years ago. Mike, yes, I have 5 Singer canisters, 1 upright, and 1 hand-held with attachments. I'll try to post pics of them for you soon. Later all, Trg

Hey Rick! I couldn't get the pics of your bracket to you any other way. Later, Trg

A handsome light blue Swivel-Top pictured in the lower right corner of Post# 56138 decided to move in with me today. Complete and sparkling, what a great Christmas/birthday present! He arrived before noon today. I will work on getting my own photo out soon.
