Nice finds. I especially like the Orange/Red Eureka canister vacuum.

I never knew Hoover made a Spirit in those vivid colors. That must be the Miami, FL edition. LOL. (my attempt at humor) :-)

looked in the upstairs bathroom in the closet

found this compact with tools and book and bags. for 2.00 also. works good but needs a full tune up and re paint. also found a lat 50's or early 60's regina floor buffer + a box full of brushes for it for 2.00 also.

Chris, what good luck you have! What great finds. Some of those older Pa and NY towns have some hidden treasures.
Congratulations !

I especially like the Westinghouse! I have an SC-1 Cannister, hope to get a few more Westinghouse machines in my collection eventually.

Chris, I love the Hoover Dimension and the Spirit! I love my Spirit, it is a basic model. All the rest of your things are too great to be believed.
