Kirby tools
Hi Kirbykid:
In looking at the pictures I see you have some really great tools. I'm an historian of a number of really old vacuum cleaners, and these include the non electric pumpers of the late 1800's. My main interests are Electrolux, Hoover and Kirby, and all of these date back to the first models. In addition, I used to be a training manager for a number of Kirby branches around the country. That bag goes with the first model that used color. My guess is 1953. The small handle thing was called a "lifter Grip." The hose and attachments date back to the last of the Scott/Fetzer Home Sanitation systems, and the models 1-C, and 2-C circa 1935. As for the upholstry tool with the brush, no it's not Kirby. My guess is 1920's Hoover, most likely 541, or 543. If you need answers to anything really old drop me a line. Alex Taber. | ||

Hose adapter
Hi gameplayerjim89:
I'm a historian of the really old Kirby models. James B. Kirby designed the tools for the Vacuette Electric, Scott & Fetzer, and early Kirby models. He was a real stickler for details, everthing had to fit that particular model only. Even today, there is no interchanging of parts. A Classic Omega rug nozzle on a Classic 111, and that sort of thing! The machines I've mentioned all used an adapter to attach the hose to the front of the cleaner, and another one to attach the hose to the exhaust port. The same was true with the dust bag, and handle pin. Each was slightly longer, thiner, fatter and so on, there was no interchanging of handles and lifter grips either! The rug tool, hose adapters, and so on only fit that model. In later years, this was used with the Crystalator, Handi-Butler, Mirical Head, and Rug Renevator. Interestingly however, this did not apply to the cords, here it was a one size fits all! So check the model of your machine, matching the hose is not the only problem, make sure you have the right adapter. Alex Taber | ||

Wait do you want me to ship it all inside the box? I didn't think you would cause it might get damaged but if you want it all in the kirby box and then stuffed in another box. I thought it would be shiped seperatly so it would be 50 more. But if you want it all inside the kirby box it shouldn't be that much more. Only about 10 more | ||

i could put all the atachments in the kirby box, or i could ship an empty kirby box and another box with the atachments. i didnt want to put the atachments in the kirby box because i am afraid it will damage the box. that is why i said it would be alot because then i would have to ship 2 boxes. is it still confusing? | ||

If you could list what I'm paying for, that would be great... Could you possibly put the attachments inside the kirby box with peanuts or wrapped and put that in a slightly larger box? I don't know if that would work for you? | ||
