Just wanted to share pictures of my Hoover Lark Stick Vacuum. I may at a later time have questions about it. Thank you. Regards, Robert | ||

The Lark, as in Doug's photo, and the OP, was the first vacuum that I ever used. (Played with)
In my earliest vacuum memories, my family had two of them. I still, to this day, don't know why they had two, nor do I know what became of either of them. Their primary vacuum was a gold and brown Hoover Portable, and the Lark must have been a back-up, for light clean-ups. I remember that it was kept in the hall closet. It's still one of my bucket list vacuums. But, I haven't seen another one since childhood. | ||

I love my Lark. I loaned it to the TV Show "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and they returned it to me better than it left. Now that I'm liquidating the contents of the Vacuum Cleaner Museum, it's one of the machines going up for auction.

Very cool, Tom!
Is the chrome or silver neck, between the floor nozzle and the body, correct? I seem to recall ours being painted blue. It's neat that yours was used in a TV show. I'm glad they returned it better than it was, as opposed to damaging it! I'm hoping one will eventually show up at a thrift store or something, but I'm not overly optimistic. I don't know how plentiful they were when they were new. But, like I said, even with keeping my eyes open for one, I haven't seen one in person since childhood. I wish my parents had held onto at least one of theirs. | ||

There are some Lark Throw-Away filter bags currently on sale at eBay, Barry, in case you want to be proactive.
