At a thrift store. Saw this. Mode 1348 made in England. I don’t know much about Hoover’s , seemed in great shape

Kelton,
In a way, yes. And yes it was made in England, but only in part: the bag, cord and handle were added on after the cleaner motor unit was sent here to North Canton, OH. Cleaners this size were quite popular in England and in other parts of the UK, but took a while to catch on here in the US. Hoover made a similar small upright, the Lark, from 1953 to 1958. The 1348 was produced from 1972 to 1978. It was the US market equivalent of the 1346A. ~Ben | ||

This vacuum is what would have been known in England as the Hoover Junior. Definitely an uncommon machine, I have never seen one in person. | ||
