I love these three items really do,these are my baby's and i aint ever parting with them and when i do die i want a fellow collector to have them for free cause i want them to be loved and not end up in a junky store some place.
We never really own anything i think were just simply the custodians of these machines and to be honest will out last most of us even if your only 20 something lol So for me i have to make sure they go to a go home when im done, ive been wondering about this for a little while now cause i cant stand the idea of them getting abused if im not around and i dont want them split up after all their sister uprights and baby 100 lol Oh and my electrolux z65 will need a to go to a nice home too i want a z25 and a hoover 725 next but that has to be it for my collection cause i aint got the room Do any of you guys and girls wonder what you will do with your collections if something happened to you? I thinks its something we should all think of to ensure the futures of our collections I guess theirs always the options of leaving to a museum but then often spend a lot of time not on display and in a basement never ever getting used at all. HMMM a dilemma CLICK HERE TO GO TO markanthony5's LINK |

I hope VacuumLand is still around after my passing so VL members or other vacuum collectors can have any or all of my vacuums |

I've left instructions that they should be offered to the then current members of this site or it's successor unless one of my nieces has developed an interest - or their future spouses/partners. |

I have VERY specific instructions for my nephew of how to liquidate them, as he will have NO CLUE what they are, and how important/valuable they are. there are instructions to call my close friend, Tom Anderson. If I go before he does, he gets first choice. the rest, I'm not so sure, yet. I had to change that will last year.
I actually have a friend who was asking about other items in the house. I informed him that I was in very good health and didn't plan on dying anytime soon. Somewhere in there was a compliment that he likes my stuff. Others, however, would only want things to turn right around and give to people whom I wouldn't want things to end up with. Dare I ask. lol anyone want anything? I asked that, as a joke. Some friends thought that was an invitation to "go shopping through my house"! |

If Tacony Corporation is still here, and the Museum is still in existence, I plan on having my collection sold to the Company so they can maintain the Museum the way it is: a celebration of ALL brands of vacuum cleaners. The only problem for the company would be in finding a knowledgeable Curator. I know it's a Dream Job for many of my vachead friends.

'Operations Coordinator". The reason being: to be a true CURATOR, you must hold a college degree in museum studies. To truly be called a CURATOR, one MUST have a degree. It's a simple fact. I knew someone from The Garden State who considered himself a curator, along w/ his friend 'Judith". Well, she found later, that she didn't have a leg to stand on. Of course, Judith was an absolute car crash.
