Yes Seamus, that's the 1954 first model and with the original hose, too. You lucky duck.
Is it a Perrivale Constellation? And does it have the floater mofification to the base? Our Cana/US model 82 non-floater was manufactured, along with the floating mulberry 84 and Heather Rose 85, from Nov.17.54 to 1957. The 1958 model 86 was golden colour and the first with the fixed hose partway down the side and the new handle with the tailfin. Yours looks to be in superb cosmetic condiion. Congrats! | ||

Perivale? Hey Dave I'm not sure where Hoover made the Constellation- if not at Perivale it was at the Scottish factory at Cambuslang. The other Cylinder out at this time which was the 417 was definitely Scottish- the box has on it Made in the Scottish factory of Hoover Limited. | ||

It's a 822... but it floats.... It arrived and although it's a 822 it has the floaty base. Going on the serial number it's from roughly April/May 1957 Seamus PS spot the Hepa conversion lol This post was last edited 02/03/2015 at 16:35 | ||
