Yes, yes, yes... I found the EXACT same Eureka at 2 different sales in 2 very different parts of the city, both in very nice condition... 2 weeks in a row. Go figure. I'll have to check the serial numbers and see how far apart they are.

Tools! No wands, though.

Sunbeam Purse! It's sort of worn away, but it's genuine!

The best find! Spotted in the corner of a garage! Missing all but the hose and crevice tool. But it had the wands still wrapped in their original wax paper... Go figure.

Great Finds, Fred!
And the Lewyt looks immaculate! Too bad it didn't have the tools with it, but you did get the box and bags in the original package, and the hose looks like brand new. The Sunbeam looks like it should clean up nicely, and even though the hose is missing, I see the machine end connector is connected to the vac, so it shouldn't be too hard to make a replacement. Congrats on the great finds, Jeff | ||

Wow Fred!
That Lewyt is appliance porn! Wouldn't you love to know the story behind why it sat untouched? I bet hubby brought it home, thinking it was a great anniversary gift, and started World War III. Wifey, out of spite, let it sit in the basement for 50+ years, until she went on to her greater reward..... If you go out next week and come home with the same model Eureka, we're callin' the cops! | ||

Frankly, I think you guys should be forced to move.... How is it Minneapolis became the great estate/thrift store Mecca? OK, perhaps moving is too harsh. Sorry.... How 'bout renting the place out occasionally? Rick | ||

Hans can tell more about it, but I believe it's because the Sunbeam has a huge fan -- it's as big as the diameter of the motor housing. | ||
