I bought this Monday in the Humane Society Thrift Store in Vero Beach, for $6.00. This was in there the day I bought the Mixmaster, but I forgot to look at it, and only saw part of it from the back. I found some bottom feed Hoover Convertible bags and some unknown manufacturer treated Electrolux bags, in opened packages. Better than nothing, I went to the cashier, and she wouldn't sell me the bags because "someone pulled the price stickers off--see?" I offered her $1.00 a pack, but she wouldn't budge. "It's against store policy." Goodwill occasionally lets stuff out without a big deal, just to dump it. So, in order to seek my revenge, I gave her a 50 even though I had several smaller bills. Later in Vero, I picked up three unopened NOS Convertible bags for 25 cents. I think this is the same model I had years ago, when I gave it and a mint green Convertible with tools to a charity, when I wasn't collecting. My brother has one in his garage, which is a surprise, because they don't keep old things, except antique furniture.

My mother had that EXACT stick broom in the kitchen pantry for when she didn't want to get out the Rainbow. I don't remember what happened to it, but I'll never forget the way it sounded and smelled. Every now and then I'll get requests for the bags, so they're still out there working away. | ||

This is the one I have that I got from the woman who sold me the Eureka ESP self propelled... didn't come with any more tools though, just a few bags. Still it was in beautiful condition. Are they bags still available for these or a special order?

Back in the late 60s my mother bought her mother a Hoover constellation and Hoover stick vac for Xmas. The stick vac was brown and orange with the larger sized floor nozzle which had the tabs for lowering or raising the brush. And that same Xmas my dad bought my mom a Regina stick vac with the dial on the floor nozzle for low, med, hi and bare floors. I was probably only about 9 or 10 at the time but I remember rushing over to my grandmother's after opening my gifts so that I could try out her new vacs. Gary | ||

Thanks, Seamus, I had that feeling it was the infamous Seal Greige! I originally referred to my Swingette as taupe, which I believed was a pink tinged brown. Actually the 1966 Funk and Wagnalls Standard Encyclopedic Dictionary says "dark grey tinged with brown, purple or yellow." My vacuum is Crayola flesh colored crayon. I have a feeling that was discontinued.
