I AM NOT SURE...but seeing most of the Air-Ways, I would say its been painted. You might want to check with an ADULT on that, but I am pretty sure they were all black. ~~K~~, a mere child | ||

Air-Way "Green Goddess"
Mike and Kyle: That Air-Way definately is NOT painted! That is the very rare and wonderful "Green Goddess" model. Mike you have received a wonderful vintage Air-Way that is very hard to find. The "Green Goddess" was the same vacuum as the Air-Way with the black handle. I'm not sure if the attachments/tools and hose were green or not. Yours is only about the 5th I have ever seen. Member Stan Hagan in Milwaukee has a MINT, MINT one that he purchased on ebay and it made ME green with envy when I saw it. The person that owned it only used it to "fluff" the feathers of pillows. To do that, (it was a selling feature of Air-Ways at the time), you remove the floor nozzle, paper bag and outer cloth bag. You would attach an empty pillow case where the bag went on and then suck up the feathers with the opening where the floor nozzle attached. The feather would get "fluffed up" by going through the fan. It could also be done by reversing the swivel dome allowing the suction to go through the hollow handle. You could use the end of the handle to suck up the feathers and they would go into the cloth bag that way as well. You have received a wonderful gift and take good care of it. The bag looks original. Does it have a genuine wood pulp cellulose bag inside the cloth bag? Those are rather hard to come by. You can always modify another bag, (Hoover W Handisac or even the new Kirby Filtrete)to fit in. Tell us, how does it run and sound? Thanks for posting the picture as now members can see the rare and beautiful, "Green Goddess". | ||
