~ I saw this on eBay. Seems the elephant really enjoyed the brush roll of a 541; I wonder if a 543 and later with the new beater-bar agitators would have been as enjoyable...! |

I have always found it easier to use the hose / canister arrangement. |

On my screen the handle seems to extend past the users right knee almost to the chair top. Great picture.Makes the 'vacuum your cat' videos look tame. |

~ That's a 541 handle, though. You can clearly see the silver ring about 8" down from the top where the straight handle grip starts, and the metal cap on the flattened end.
If it was any model earlier than a 541, the handle would be rounded off with no grip, like the wooden handle of a garden shovel. AFAIK the 541 was the only Hoover to have that particular handle -- the 543 was the first to have a curved handle-end.

A great picture Charles, Hoover UK continued with the elephant theme in the 70`s for their new Hoover Conquest, their latest cylinder cleaner of the era featuring a new revolving air turbine brush - wheel out the Hoover Blue Serge Elephant.
