 ~ See link... I imagine the seller is rather over-optimistic about the value of his machine given some condition issues, but who knows.......
Something I'm wondering about is how powerful the Kirby Utility is. It has a 3-amp motor which, IIRC, is the same rating as the full-size Model C Kirby of the same time. That being the case, this probably is a powerful little bugger, if perhaps unwieldy and awkward to use. CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux137's LINK on eBay | ||

Or aka the eeze. I would have a hard time spending that much on a vacuum if I was loaded. It's not as much as I spent on my wife's ring but I would not pay that much. We have seen a 510 go for $2100 in the last year. I didn't think there is a snow ball chance in heck he gets $1500. It only takes one person though.

I had one for many years. My good friend Adam (he's a kirby collector) has one he got for Christmas two years ago. They are from the 1930's. Unique in how it can force moth gas into an article of furniture through the nozzle. Not as powerful as you might think. The first name for it was Vacuette Jr. Glad he thinks it's worth $3000. I think sometimes people put things for sale on eBay at crazy prices because they want to show it off, not because they actually think anyone would be dumb enough to pay that much - but there are very rich vacuum collectors who will pay anything because money means nothing to them.

The Ezee was non electric. It was not manufactured nor sold by the Scott and Fetzer Company. It was made and sold by the Frantz Premier Company. It does not belong on the Kirby timeline. James Kirby had two electric and one non-electric cleaner already in production and on the market when he met Mr. Scott and Mr. Fetzer.
