Dear Adrian-
Yes, collecting vacuum cleaners has many aspects to it, history, development, improvements, stories, sentimental values, colours of fashions, etc. Very very nostalgic. Call me a fool for nostalgia........ Please enlighten us with what was available on your end of the world. Many Thanks Adrian Smith South-Africa |

Welcome Adrian
And thank you for already posting some interesting pictures. Please tell us more of the cleaners which you have and which you remember. It is always interesting to see how markets and manufacturers vary from country to country - for the most part we know little enough about Western Europe never mind behind the iron curtain. If you have not seen it before you might find the thread on the link interesting - it features Russian cleaners. And, if you should have any information on washing machines, driers or dishwashers please remember the companion site www.automaticwasher.org... as the guys over there would be interested in seeing the too Al CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK |
