~ That eBay specimen =is= a mystery. I also have a bag cleaner (used to have two of them) and they're both like yours. The second one in the photos below had a bag that I believe was made by Hoover especially for the Bag Cleaner. It was silvery-gray with darker-gray pinstripes, and the name "HOOVER" ran vertically down the front of the bag -- but it was upside-down, so that it read right-side up when mounted upside-down on the Bag Cleaner. (Does that make sense?!) I've never seen another silver Hoover bag like it, and why else would the Hoover name have been printed on it upside-down? That bag went missing somewhere along the way. I thought maybe I had tucked it away when I sent it to another collector to rebuild it (it was a real mess when I found it), but it never turned up. The last image I posted was from a 1940s issue of Popular Mechanics. The bag cleaner shown there is yet another variation and one I've never seen in real life. |
