Hi Nick. Welcome!

caligula's profile picture
I'm one of the two people who started the club, I'm also a Kirby collector, as well as a lover of early Electrolux models, V - LX. I know Connecticut very well, but can't place Thompson, I was born and raised in Wallingford, and lived on campus of Choate/Rosemary Hall.

That is one beautiful Kirby. If you want to know the in depth history of James B. Kirby, and the machines he invented, let me know. I have a lot of info on the early stuff.

Again Welcome to the club.

Robert Alexander Taber.
