Hoover hi Jack VERY NICE machine and BAG. Everything looks bran new every time i see a older Hoover like that it makes me VERY SAD to think what has happened to a company like that.We have to prmote vacuums made in the good old USA even if they cost much more. Doug | ||

***Bites lip*** Ugh, I've never just "found" an original bag--this old--in such delicious condition... with the original bag strappy retainer thing still hooked up and operational, to boot!

Not too bad... For being roughly 70 years old... it could be a LOT worse! I'm sure the moment I touch that bumper, it's going to crumble to pieces... :-(

Really nice Jack and I'll be sure to give Mike a big kiss, maybe two, for ya next time I see him. LOL I'm wondering why it is I can't seem to find any of these old Hoovers here. It's not like they didn't sell them or manufacture any :( | ||

'The New Jubilee Model' Here's an ad for this machine - it's borrowed from Paul Linnell's wonderful 'Simply Switch On' website. Note how prominantly the royal crest is featured! CLICK HERE TO GO TO vintagehoover's LINK

And here's a detail from a Hoover promo pic, showing the Junior Model 370 with its Jubilee bag. Even entry-level buyers could afford to be patriotic!

Jack, what's that black piece extending from the plug on your 800? Beautiful cleaner by the way. | ||

Hi Matt, the black thing is an adaptor to allow you to run the cleaner from a bayonet lamp socket. All Hoover cleaners were provided with these adaptors, because even among those who were wired for electricity, many did not yet have wall sockets:

This is an original Hoover plug from the Model 700-era. It's made of hard bakelite, not rubber like the one shown above, and this is designed solely to be run from a lamp fitting. There's no 2-pin fitting hidden away on this one!

Further Comments about Pictures In fact, Jack, anyone not in the know about Hoovers could probably look at the second picture and think it was part of the 2009 lineup. I really have to thank you for "turning me on" to the pre-war Hoovers. | ||
