Model and Serial numbers... wish I knew where it came in production...was it the 805th one made, or the 30,805th? And how many were made in total?!

Hand grip.. remarkably free from wear, this one still has its delicate pattern showing clearly. It's unusual to find one like this, usually the combined effects of friction, and oils in the sweat from the hands, erodes this away.

Up and running... purring away, now the motor's been dismantled and cleaned. The black stripe has also been resprayed, the paint was getting a bit flaky.

Streamlined Art Deco bakelite rear casing... one of the more major differences in the new design by Henry Dreyfuss, when compared to Model 370 - which the 375 replaced after just 2 years.

All of your Hoover Juniors are very nice. They are one of the things I really like about the UK model line. The fact they are not available in the US makes them all the more interesting. | ||

Early Post War...!!!
Hi Jack, another fine example, very classic appliance and sooo powerful in its time, that sound was legendary!!!!!!!!those Jubilee bags look the part, Your Model F30,805 would be Early Post War, probably October 1945, the Pre War models had a seven figure serial number - no pre-fix.... Post War started: F10,000 July 1945 F55,000 January 1946 F187,000 January 1947 F255,000 July 1947 F333,000 January 1948 F400,000 July 1948 F427,000 January 1949 F514,000 July 1949 F602,500 January 1950 F698,700 July 1950 Nowthen, given those numbers, where are they all???..........!!!! and tease over, just WHERE did they end up on Tuesday....LOL | ||

More Info about the 370
In the book "Industrial Design" by John Heskett (a British publication) there is a picture of a 370 that is badged on the bag as Jubilee and captioned as 1935. As soon as I can get my scanner working, I'll "beam it up" - could be a day or two. Also, there are many examples of US Hoover ads indicating that the Models 800 AND 825 (also known as Sentinel 35 and much touted as the Henry Drefuss model) were SENTINEL SERIES models. Just to add to the confusion...

Jubilee Hoovers ....thinking about it, I'm sure I've seen/read that the UK 370,475 & 825 were known as jubilee hoovers for the silver jubilee celebrations of King George V in 1935, perhaps someone can confirm ? | ||

hmm, I always thot the designation "Silver Jubilee" was in deference to Hoover's 25th anniversary. I believe that's what Stan Kann told me once upon a time. | ||
