Hi everyone,

i found this on e bay the other day,
I was quite shocked to see this fossil of what once was a Hoover Dustette , really is the only to describe it in this condition, with a buy it now of £9.99
lol

I mean what do you guys think lol, there comes a point in my mind when something is just a bit too far gone.

I would say this was it!!!.surely the motor cant be much use either due to the obviously very damp conditions its been sat in

.(most probably at the bottom of the sea bed near a 1940s sunken ocean liner) lmao

Yikes,I think that Dustette has been far beyond the sea, and beyond the expiration date! surprised

well i think the only home it could go to is the funeral home lol, what can you do with this,the handle might get away with, and the switch but thats got to be it really unless you have a marine museum lol

May be a ww2 blitzed home wreckage for a film prop a body hanging onto a dustette amongst the rubble with a house coat on perhaps!!and a crumpled packet of senior service laying by the side.:-)

Right well they should have left it at the knackers yard! It had such a hard life & wouldn't be fair to put it in the tip!
