That 634 bag is RARE! Probably about as rare as an original 29 bag! Good find! |

Can't beat the price either! You're right, the bag on the 29 IS a 634 bag, but the bag on the 28 is ORIGINAL! Great to have the attachments too!
As for the Mothimizer bags, you probably noticed a drawstring at the open end. Hoover dropped the metal Mothimizer around 1951 or 52, and replaced it with a blower connector for the hose. For mothproofing, the connector was attached in place of the bag, the hose was connected to it, moth crystals were placed in the bag which was then tied around the end of the hose. These bags were also discontinued after a couple years, but the blower connector was continued through the first couple Convertible models. Here's a pic of my 29 with the attachments, including the Mothimizer bags, between the blower connector and the upholstery nozzle. Jeff
