I'm guessing it might be the Hoover. | ||

Guessing.......
The Hoover. Now, ask me why I say that? I too work for a University, and I have SEVERAL vacuum cleaners in my office, both of my prized Electrolux Commemorative Editions, a beautiful example of a Model XXX (30), a Eureka 1934B, and a Hoover 543. Out of every machine I have in here, the 543 (or the 700 in the downstairs office) gets more comments and attention than ANY of the others combined......

Do people 'drop off' vacuums for you? | ||

Often people laugh, but when they see them they may say "Oh, my mother had that one!" or are intrigued by a design.
I've been fortunate enough to have a pair of Grandparents who fully support my hobby. Their house is like a second home to me, and it's a complete time warp! I always bring a vintage vacuum along, and they always reminisce based on the design, or have genuine questions regarding it. I've been pleasantly surprised by many reactions of "The General Public" when they learn that I collect vintage vacuums, and repair, rebuild, or restore all sorts of them! | ||

Do you.... have a relative with the same last name and first name Ross? Who lives in Illinois and a dog breeder/handler?

No... that was directed at the OP, Todd. No ax to grind, just a question to see if the world is not as big as we think it is.

It's like having the name "Smith" Wisconsin has a large population of Norwegians. The name "Knutson" is as common in Oslo, Norway as "Smith" is in the US. Sorry. No Ross in my known relative base. | ||

I didn't realize.... it was a common name in some locals. I've only known like two in my life. Just a shot in the dark...thanks!
