My family has headed up north to Payson AZ this week so on the way to a National Park I stopped into a thrift store and found some rare bags. I do not own any of the vacuums these bags go to, but I know that some of them are extremely hard to find. So I am offering them for sale to the people that can use them. Here is what I have:

*1 sealed pack of genuine Hoover F bags in the 1976 packaging. Pack of 3.
*5 sealed generic Regina canister bags, which come in a pack of four. I also grabbed an open pack of the same brand, but that pack has only three bags. So 23 bags in total.
*4 GE Swivel Top bags by DVC. They are in open packaging.
*Hoover type 57 Brush-Vac belts in 1985 packaging. Pack of two.

The last one is not a vacuum item, but I'm sure some of you will love to have this. I have 5 genuine Westinghouse deposable buffing pads, plus the original Polisher/Scrubber owner's manual. Inside is the Warranty Registration card and the enevlope to send it in; addressed to East Fourth Street in Mansfield Ohio.


If you want any of these, just respond below!

That's great, but wouldn't the paper have degraded over the years ?

And in the case of those Brush Vac belts (which I may actually need soon) wouldn't they have dried up ?

Sorry to be a killjoy but I'm just inquisitive!

The bags seems fine to me, but you might be right about belts. If nobody wants them I'd like to create a Hoover display at some point and could use the belts in that.

Paper!

I have tons of old bags, I have some brown AirWay bags from the 50s that are still fine, the rubber seals will go bad if they are exposed to a hot attic ETC.

Actually after giving it some thought I take back what I said about the belts. I bought a pack of Genuine HOOVER belts for my 1977 HOOVER Ranger and from the packaging I'd guess they are from the 80s but the same belt has been on the Ranger from January and is still working today, so they can't be that aged!

There is a pack of belts also for the Ranger on eBay at the moment which look like they are from the 70s but I won't be going that far!
