Not pictured is my Oreck XL (stays in my office at work)
Also not pictured, I have a matching Concept 2 that's in "process"

Ver nice array, larryeddy

It would be great if you could rig up
a strong shelf above the back row's handles
to put the front row vacs on.
That way every unit could be clearly seen.

They look like they're all in great condition. A nice "array"

Excellent collection!

I especially like your Hoover "Decade" lineup in the front. I'd say the dust cup model is the star of the show.

I, too, try to keep a relatively small and well-maintained "representative" collection of the machines I like. Based on the machines you posted, I'd say we have similar taste, too: direct-air uprights.

I will never

Get my collection pared down to a manageable level,I need to count but I would guess the vacuums alone are near at least 750 or 800, maybe more....

Milk crates and some length of board. I think that would be a good, cheap no-damage way to display the back row.
