I even got a few that were still in the box. This is a commercial model 348 from 1975 according to the tag. Again this is brand new and has never seen dirt. It is the last one off of the line. --Tom

This Wards DAM was the first machine to catch my eye. I really liked the shade of gold. It works like brand new. I had to grease the agitator and change both belts. It is nice to have a brand new DAM to use!

It makes me truly sick to think of all the companies that jet their archives into the infernos or dumpsters the split second there is a buyout or bankruptcy. The Packard Motor Car Company threw out tons of invaluable documents and pictures the moment of their merger with Studebaker in 1955. Into the furnace. But thanks again for all those terrific pictures, we want more when you can!

This machine dates from 1966 and is number 1001. It is for the Blue Lustre company and you could rent this for $1. I wonder how many of these survived? Notice that the Hoover logo is missing...instead there is a brushed piece of aluminum over the spot!

Brush rolls They are very similar. The Conquest is a daily driver for me, despite its size it pushes quite easily and picks up Jack and Symmone's hair very well. Tom I am sure Hyacinth would want to show her Hoover off to Councillor Mrs. Nugent as well...

Penncrest name was dropped sometime in the early 70's when they changed the name of the store to JC Penney. | ||

Penncrest name Jeff, Are you referring to the logo change in 1971 when it was changed from Penneys to JCPenney? The only name change of which I'm aware occurred in 1913 when The Golden Rule became JCPenney. Am I missing a piece of history? Mike

As usual, the older logo was far more attractive and interesting. The calligrapy-style lettering has style and class; the new logo is just plain old Helvetica slightly stylized. Borrrrrr-ing!!! | ||

Tom, After seeing all of your finds from the Hoover Vault, I remembered that I have an old Montomgery Ward Carper Shampooer. Look forward to meeting you in August.

This is a model 589 Hoover Convertible "Custom" although it is only marked Convertible. It was built on 12.18.68 and is serial number ONE. It is Victorian Rose and Seal Griege light. --Tom

Here is another view. The bag is still soft and pliable. All of the snaps are there too and work just fine. It sounds a little "growly" but that is to be expected after sitting in a box on a shelf for all of those years. --Tom

This particular model 66 is the LAST one off of the line as indicated by the serial number on the tag and the machine. It is one of the nicest ones from the vault too. It was kept safely in a Hoover 1060 box of all things, but well preserved. --Tom

This is a 1334 built on 8.14.58. It still wears its original "flex" and special plug to match. The base is all metal not plastic like our version from the 60's and 70's. This is a very well made unit.

Here is the two position height adjuster that was replaced on the model 589 by the four position adjuster. There is a slight bit of damage to the top of the hood. I am not sure how this happened but it is not the only model affected by this type of damage.

Again jealousy is ruling in the hearts of many. I can not agree more, the people that attended the public auction that was held by the new Hoover owners have every right to do what they want with any of the vacuums they have purchased. Personally knowing Tom Anderson, knowing how much time he has put into preserving the history of the Hooover Vacuum, he deserves only praise! He has been working very hard to preserve as much information as possible about any and all vacuums that have come out of the Hoover vault. I purchased one of the Hoover Vault Vacuums myself from the gentlemen that did purchase vacuums from the vault, the same man that Tom is selling the vacuums for. He is also a very nice man but also a very good business man. He owns a vac shop and is in business to support himself. Personally I am tired of all the whining and complaining about prices on E-bay, Craig's list ect. People that are selling vacuums are looking to make money as any of us trying to sell vacuums, cars ect would be. It is a fair market, the highest bidder wins.....it is that simple! For me, I just hope that the vacuums will be going to a very loving home or be used for the purpose they were intended to be used for. I don't win everything I want, but as Fred S. pointed out in one of his vacuum find threads....patients pays off...sometimes it is worth the wait. It also amazes me that when other club members post vacuums on E-bay that do bring good prices, we never here about that...or those who sell on E-bay and have reserves that need to be met first...we never hear about that .... Tom, hold your head high,keep up the good work, don't let the negative comments of jealous people get you down. Those of us that truly know you and know what you do on a daily basis for the Hoover Historical Society know the truth. | ||

This looks like a job for Fred Nelson.
If ever we needed the *POOF* interrupt, it is now... Despite how amusing the thread is becoming while we wait for a a simple 'oops, sorry' rather than the offensive and badly punctuated defensive posture offered up so far, might we all make email requests to the Webmaster to please remove all posts from #31721 onward, so that Tom's invaluable thread can live on in the archives unsullied? This is not censorship. We've all read the posts so there's no reason to preserve them for all time. But, Tom's original post and the positive ongoing contributions to its intent should be. I mean, what message is being sent to oldies and newbies alike who will access this wonderfully illustrated stroll down memory lane...and then they get to this unexpected speedbump? This is one of the threads I've bookmarked, as I have many in the archives, for later revisiting and research. Cast your vote to fnelson487@sbcglobal.net. my 17 cents and moving on. Dave | ||

This one has no writing on the bag jacket. I guess that this one must have been a mid line model. It uses the bottom fill type C bags as the top fill design was not introduced until 1977.

Then with more force, turn the lever completely to the left in a counterclockwise direction. This will lift the belt out of the way so that the hose can be connected.

This is a 1953 edition model 42 "Areodyne". This was the cheap version of the model 53. It was built on 9.4.53 and is one of the last 4,000 or so made. Not the first of last unit, but still oh so cool!

Looking inside the bag. This machine was equipped with both the cloth and the disposable paper bag. This paper bag feels like the same material as the type W Handisac. I wonder if these were available in the reusable paper bags?

every color!!
Hi Tom. I'm finally in the "forum" and plan to join. Meeting you in Aug will be a highlight. It was genious how HOOVER made a convertible, cannister, broom, polisher in matching colors. I love them. As Jackie Kennedy said while shopping, "I'll have this in every color:. Are there ANY photos of the Hoover factory inside? Are they working on the place yet? Can we go there in Aug? Do you have pligrimages to your home? I, too, am a HOOVER diehard. You've sold me a few things on ebay over the past year. I'm astounded by your collection. It's INSPIRING. Thanks, John

You're KILLING ME !!!!! I do rotate,alternate, etc.. my machines This big old place has a front and back staircase. 10 convertibles line the steps, like Catholic school. My friends, (both of them) open the door and DIE laughing. It's amazing how people are in my house for a while, notice a 69 here, 70 there 1076, etc. and just "wonder..." but don't dare ask.It could bee worse, I could drink ! all Irish, and NEVER touched a drop. Some think I have a "problem". I can't say "telescoping wand" without laughs. Am I alone?? | ||

If only HOOVER made a lyposuction attachment.I'm waiting. Does anyone think , like the Connie, TTI will have enough sense to bring back others? Do they realize what MADE HOOVEr great lies in it's acrchives? I go to K-Mart, Walmart, look the the boxes of the cleaners, see Mexico, China, and Glenwillow, and become sad. It's hard to even recognize the infamous handles. Thank GOD the round emblem is still around. I think it's the most attractive signage ever. Am I nuts?

I also picked up the first version of the Hoover Guardsman. It has rear conversion, different lettering on the bag, C tube, black cord, step on switch without a cover (a'la model 31). This baby is super clean and has never been used so it just gleams!

...the handle grip...the handle is aluminum not steel like the US 65. Also, it seems to me that the handle is shorter! When I compare the 65 to the 652, the 65 is taller! Can anyone tell me why?

Tom~ Feel free to send that 652 to me, and I'll be glad to test it for you...plugged into my voltage converter. :-) I can take pictures, video... It'd be just like being there! ~Fred | ||

Interesting! It is indeed US voltage, Tom! Maybe you can test it out sooner than you might have thought! :-) Oh...just be careful! ~~K~~ | ||

Why would Hoover UK make a 652 for US voltage and not give it a US plug? Same goes for the Junior 1334. Odd to say the least. --Tom | ||

hey tom, I love your collection, I would love to have a new in box convertible and some of the JC Penney cleaners, Also do you know when they converted the convertibles to top Fill type A bags, I have a model 4349 that is top fill, wondering when it was made | ||

On/off switch... I'm not sure about the on/off switch, Tom - all the UK 652/652As I've seen have had the darker, burgandy/maroon switch, like my 652 has. Does your switch look like it's painted, or is the plastic itself that bright red?
