I've had no luck finding any and I as a general rule won't pay more than $20 for a vacuum which rules out Ebay with shipping etc. | ||

Very nice, ya'll! I love those Hoovers! How ironic is it that most of us own pre-war Hoovers, and not others? I guess they were pretty popular!! :-) ~~K~~ | ||

Coming right up! I'll start a different thread so I don't take over this one. By the way, I also posted a solution to your golden j hose problem in the contemporary forum if you haven't been there already. | ||

Oh, I don't mind ya'll changing this topic around a bit! Seriously! I think it's just fun to see some old vacuums, as many people are just interested in new machines. Anyways, feel free to post any kind of old pictures here! ~~K~~ | ||

Ok - enough with the Hoovers LOL. There were alot of other vacs made pre war too. This picture is of a Goblin T-2 Stationary Cleaner (Translation - Central Vacuum) from the 1930's. The cart its sitting on isnt original, of course, as it would have been sitting on the floor in the basement of a house and had a short hose connected to the metal piping that ran throughout the house. Unfortunately I've never found the wands, rug nozzle, small nozzle or crevice tool. I suspect the hose was originally cloth covered but that has long since disappeared. Its interesting to note that it came with a felt brush for hardwood floors and two different sizes of floor brush. Anyone else have more information or pics about this machine?

Hoover 475
One of my favorite pre-war vacs in my collection is my Hoover 475. It was given to me in March by Tom Anderson, then Charles Lester gave me an original bag for it. Top left is a close-up of the bag, showing a repair made by my wife, Lena. Top right is the 475 with the bag that was on it when Tom gave it to me, a genuine Hoover replacement bag. Bottom right is with the original bag installed and ready for carpet cleaning, and bottom left ready for above the floor cleaning with original hose and converter also from Tom Anderson, and upholstery nozzle swiped from my 28. If this works out I might have a few more photos to post. Jeff

Such a beautiful machine. I love the way the red on the bag matches the red on the front of the vacuum. | ||

543 and 541 543's in as-bought, totally unrestored condition. A project for the Christmas holidays! The 541's survived in good condition - it only needed a good clean-off! Some previous restorations: CLICK HERE TO GO TO vintagehoover's LINK

Here is the model 25 from 1937-1938. This is the makeup of 3 or 4 of these. I am still looking for an original bag! It runs like a champ. --Tom

No problem! I'm scanning it anyway, so if anyone wants to see, let me know and I'll post it in the forum. | ||
