One of the perks of being the Curator of the Vacuum Cleaner Museum is the ability to influence the next generation of vacuum collectors. There have been so many young collectors who come visit with their families - they always leave with some vacuum from my collection, which I'm happy to present to them. Recently, we had a family with a very enthusiastic young collector, who seemed to already know everything about vintage machines. Makes you wonder about reincarnation... Here are a few pics of him enjoying the vacuums, and teaching me what he already knew about them.

I do love my job. I get to go to work every day, play with any vacuum cleaner I want (from vintage to not-yet-launched prototypes), talk to the public about vacuum cleaners, and spend one day a month with the engineering department educating them on what makes a good vacuum 'good'. There's lots of great things coming from Tacony in the next 12 months, one model (k-1) that you will ALL recognize its origins. My favorite part of my job is talking with young collectors and letting them experience vintage cleaners for the first time in their lives. It's amazing. I'm very blessed.
I hope that ALL vacuum collectors take advantage of the availability of the Museum. You don't need to come to a 'convention' and spend a fortune to enjoy the entire history of vacuums. The Museum is open six days per week, it's free to come by, and I'll spend as much time as you want. We have 648 vacuums in the museum, or you can take a tour of the factory. It's a huge resource available at any time to any one. | ||
