Well found! Great to see it, that bag looks in great condition, and hey, it is the most modern of the coffee can machines! I can only hope that we're that well preserved when we hit 70/1! | ||

Fascinating! I've never seen a 'Coffee Can' with a bakelite top. Clearly near the end of that era. How very cool, what a great find and what great condition, too! Congrats! Rick | ||

...and if you go even further back, Hoover made cleaners with motors suited for currents as low as 32v!

Jack :) I totally forgot about the 32V thing over here- I know it was availiable in the US though, am I imagining things or was it known as "farm current" ?? | ||
