These freaks just burned an old '70s-'80s Royal.
I'd think this is a pre-1987 commercial-duty model going by the dark blue bag on it, possibly either a model 606 or 611. ~Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK | ||

Somehow I don't believe the bag was the only thing on this that was destroyed... I'd hint at the nameplate being burned, too, because by 1971 it took the form of a silver decal applied to the back view of the nozzle by the front wheels.
Prior to 1970 the nameplate appeared in the form of a riveted plate applied to the underside of the motor assembly. Whatever its location, the nameplate was what had the model #, serial #, patents, amps, etc. ~Ben | ||

The best part is that it doesn't even die. I can't believe they had to use a match to get it to light. | ||

"people these days have no respect" I think that trimmed quote sums it up really, society as a whole is just messed up, not just those who treat decent appliances like crap, but it's a case of, we know better and they know nothing... :) | ||

For Garrett and Brandon,
I'd say the same thing if they burned an old Kirby for that same matter. I do like Hoovers and Eurekas, but not to the same extent as the two of you. For me, all my vacs are going to be made of metal. Of course, one YouTube channel I hate (along with 99.9% of the rest of you here at the VCCC) is the one marked "smashstuff30" (?). He is a threat to us vac collectors, but he is also a threat to lawn mower collectors, too (lawn mowers are my other favorite passion). I remember he destroyed two vintage Sunbeams (a 1970s era Value Champ twin-blade electric mower and a Value Champ rear-bag electric; I know for sure the latter was a CPSC-June 30, 1982-certified model going by the trigger-release switch). ~Ben | ||
