417 & Hooverette
Ryan
I have a spare 417 in smoke Pine & Swedish Green if you are interested - probably a bit better condition than the Connie. John The later version Lark (like a stick vac) appears to be the same as the Hooverette, only it did not have the handle that the Hooverette did. Did the lark come with an accessory set, like this?

Here's a picture of the US version of the Hooverette - the Lark. I do not know if it came with other accessories. I think it did, but I don't think this one had a handle on the body. This is from a 1965 booklet about the Hoover products of that year.
Note the commercial drum-type vac in the lower-right hand corner, which was one of the vacuums seen in the background of some scenes in Jerry Lewis's "Who's Minding the Store".

UK From 1967
Swedish Green models in all their glory - with a few others.
Actually Ryan's Convertable/Senior is not contemporary with the Junior - it is somewhat later with the footswitch sei into the hood rather than beside it. The real giveaway is the round "O"s on the Junior compared to the squared off version on the Senior. Smoke Pine/Swedish Green continued on non Junior models for a couple more years before changing to white/blue - when the Junior was updated to the 1346 it followed the Brown/Pumpkin colouring. The Hooverette went in a different direction having and orange body with white end cap. The red model (419) was also available with black and olive green bodies. Al
