Tom and Joe
Some great vacuum finds!!! I hope Joe will bring the Electrolux Oxygen to the convention as I have been dying to try one out. That GE is a wonderful looking vacuum. Hopefully some one here will know the age. I am jealous of the Hoover Jr. tool set... someday perhaps I will find one. Sounds like a great mini meet. Make sure you keep the pictures coming.

Here they are discussing the similarities between the Hoover model O and the original Spangler model...yes, the Center is still here not yet air lifted to China!! HA! In between the O and the Spangler is the "Skinner" cleaner from 1905. --Tom

Here is Norm demonstrating the model 84 Connie...note that great rug nozzle. The 63 upright next to it was unusable due to a deteriorated cord. Too bad...we all wanted to run that one as it was one of our favorites.

Dots versus Riccar...the Riccar won hands down! It is a bagged machine too which is even better!

That Goes For Me, Too!
I had a great time at Tom's, too!! It was good to see Tom & Heather, Joe, and Norm again, and a pleasure meeting Corey and Jimmy. Also was nice to visit the Hoover Historical Center again, much different from the last time I was there. Morrison's Sweeper Shop was interesting although I didn't find much I was looking for. Tom & Heather served us a delicious supper of chili and homemade bread, and Norm brought brownies for dessert, and we had fun running vacs and visiting. And Joe wasn't the only one who benefitted from Tom's generosity, as he gave me a Hoover 475, and a pair of wands for my model 40 Lewyt, and went over my Hoover 29, detailing it and replacing the cord guard and belt. The 475 will be a cherished addition to my collection, as it's the only round top Hoover I have, and (in my opinion) one of the two most beautiful models of that style of Hoover. So THANK YOU TOM, for the fun day, the great food, the beautiful Hoover, and for hosting a great gathering! Jeff P.S. Ran into white-out conditions west of Massilon, but other than that, had a good trip home. | ||

hygiene903: I'd love to see photos of your 475! Also, did anyone take any close-up photos of the two early Hoovers that can be seen in the background of the Model O picture? | ||

Hopefully it can all happen again this summer, I'd love to go see that Historical museum and meet fellow collectors now that I'm not that far away anymore. | ||

To vintagehoover--
Hello, Jack, Sorry, but even though I had my camera with me, I didn't get around to taking a shot of the 475. I tried mostly to get pictures of what was going on. However, one of these days I need to get around to taking pictures of my collection, and when I do, the 475 will definitely be included! By the way--love your website!! Also wanted to mention that in the photo where I am running my Royal, my model 39 Regina can be seen in the background. Jeff | ||
