These were found at two different Goodwill stores within one hour.

I had admired this model in someones collection before. Supremacy!

Notice the markings for rug adjustment and handle release.

I wonder just how common these cleaners were?

Thanks for watching!

Nice Finds, David!

I think the Dual-Voltage machines were generally sold to Military families who would go back and forth overseas... I know Tom Anderson has one of those cleaners.

The Supremacy Decade-80 sure is pretty!

Yay for good days at GoodWill!

Hey...nice Hoover cleaners. The burgundy Supremacy was sold through vac shops and they turn up once in awhile around here. I do have the Dual Voltage too. Odd thing...mine is the same model number but my serial number is 069300001268. Which means that mine was built earlier but with a higher serial number. Yours is built later but with a lower number??? Any ideas out there in Vacuumland?

David, those are real eye poppers! Especially the dual-voltage one. It's such a restful shade of blue grey.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

OMG that is a stunning brochure, Jeff. The u4719 looks fabulous with that black-painted handle. I usually hate that hood shape, but this one looks really good.

Neiman-Marcus perhaps? Those have got to be the best looking series of Hoovers in that era. For formal vacuuming parties. Great brochure.

Guys...

Don't know if some of you know this but the serial numbers in "newer" Hoovers incorporates the manufacturing date. For example, in Brett S's Hoover with serial number 079400001111, the date of manufacture was July 1994. Hoover started using the month and year in the MMYY portion of the code which was the first four numbers.

If I am wrong, will the experts please correct me?

Louis

Louis-

You're correct... they started doing that sometime in 1987, I believe.

What wonderful, unusual cleaners! I've not seen dual voltage or the unusual wattage previously either. Supre(macy) was once the private label brand of Macy's, who sold a Royal derivative under that name. That of course would have been long before this Hoover line.
