Today, it is exactly 100 years since J.M Spangler was granted the patent for his 'Carpet Sweeper and Cleaner' on June 2nd, 1908 Here's the earliest ad in my collection, from 1907:

I don't know if I would call the Hoover "O" pictured a "little machine"! | ||

The only Model O I've seen in person: And even with half of it cut away, was still really heavy!

In 1909... there was the Senior - the front wheels were moved from beside the suction opening to behind it, so the cleaner could lift the carpet and gently beat against it to remove the trodden-in grit. The first cleaner ever to do this!

And in 1910... There was this machine...I don't know for sure which model this is - it could be a Model 2...

In 1911... This machine is beginning to look a lot more like the later Hoovers...note smaller bag attached to chassis with bag ring. At this point, the bags were still being hand-sewn by J.M. Spangler's wife and daughter!

Hi Clark, no, sadly my 'The One Show' appearance will not coincide with the 100th Anniversary itself. The date I've been given is Thursday 19th June. There is a small possibility that this may change, but if it does, I'll let you know. | ||

Hoover - Who Better!!!
Thanks Jack for the Patent information, I wonder as that Patent was filed if they ever wondered just what a difference that piece of paper would make in the world....Was there a model O to use for the filming as well as the Demo Cutaway? Tom, thanks for sharing the pics!!! do we know just how many variations of the Model !O" there where etc...is it on one hand or tens etc.

When was the last time a pre-102 Hoover went on eBay? I tell you...for all of my 6 years of vacuum collecting, I have never seen more than one on eBay! Those ads, though, are amazing! Thanks for taking the time to scan them, everyone ~~K~~ | ||

Charles Richard, thanks for all of these scans, they're very interesting Have you noticed that on the 105(?) manual cover, the cleaner appears to be running, even though it's not plugged in?

That's no smudge! That's the screw-in plug, I swear! You can follow the cord up past the woman's dress and over the upper cord hook That cleaner is running on ectoplasm or something!
