I was re-arranging my machines this afternoon and thought it would be fun to do a little photo shoot. Not all of them are restored, and there are a few missing (not at home) but you get the picture. Enjoy!

~ What a beautiful collection! That's a fairly rare and early version of the Electrolux Model XXX, manufactured for only two years (1945-1947). Note the flat-bottom runners, chrome-plated floor nozzle, earlier-style (second version) rug nozzle, later-style steel rear housing but that most probably has the single-panel blower louver instead of the later two-piece saloon-door style (but I can't tell from the photos), and a beautiful hose with the earlier-style tapered hose handle. (btw the short metal nozzle with the clip-on brush is not an Electrolux product.) What a gem!!! | ||

Thanks for the compliments guys!
I felt like a post-mortem photographer when I was photographing the 505, the spring is broken so I had to prop the handle up with an Electrolux wand behind the bag. I'll fix that one of these days... Regarding the Electrolux, I knew it was an early one, but didn't realize it was that uncommon of a model. I found it at an estate sale for $10, but it was the last day so I got it for $5. It came in a big apple box with each piece wrapped up in an old piece of 1960s newspaper. It looks like they didn't use it much, the inside is spotless. I knew the nozzle with the brush wasn't Electrolux but it came with it, so I kept it as part of its history. It was complete with everything pictured, minus the cord which is the correct Belden cord I found elsewhere. Definitely a keeper! This post was last edited 08/06/2015 at 13:20 | ||
