Excellent Find Fred!
I agree, that has to be the thrift store find of a lifetime! Just finding a 150 at a thrift is unusual, but to find one with the original bag in great shape and no damage to the handle grip is outstanding! I'm sure it will be even more beautiful after you give it a nice spa treatment. Congratulations!

 Don't you love the emotional roller coaster. You enter the store and suddenly, your aware of your heart beating. Then a rush of emotions over take you..... with the outcome UNKNOWN. I mean, its not like going to the grocery store where you pretty much know the routine and what you'll be leaving with. I think one always remembers a rush, like this. You remember the store, and everytime you go back, you hope to have a similar experience. As time goes by though, you realize the sheer randomness of this experience. I still remember finding one of my first treasured vacuum cleaners in 1986. It was at the Goodwill store near 91st and Mill Rd. in Milwaukee. A mid 70s Sears Best canister. I hadn't been there in probably 10 years, but on a recent visit, went right back to the area I found that vac, so many years ago. CLICK HERE TO GO TO delaneymeegan's LINK | ||

That Kenmore I don't think it was there yesterday, I can check for you guys. There was also a Riccar there, but I believe it was a non U.S. made one, which seemed odd to me. | ||
