The Pinnock was sold in stores and was lesser in price to the constellation, senior, pye, GE and electrolux cleaners. In the 60's I don't think the expensive Kirby had hit our shores at that stage. There were also sewing machines branded Pinnock and whilst that brand of sewing machine was very popular I have only seen 2 Pinnock cleaners in 42 years. Back then domestic duties were taken seriously by our mums and in a nutshell your mum either bought Hoover or Electrolux, clearly defined by their preference to upright or cylinder cleaners. I think that's where my preference from Hoover comes from.
