Very nice! I always liked the Hoover blenders, especially the green models like that one with the spatula in the lid and the other version with the wider base. I've not seen that chrome blender on the left before, looks interesting.
Hoover small appliances never seem to turn up around here, and I go to thrift stores fairly regularly. |

and, I didn't have any compartmentalized Styrofoam plates on which to serve. I DO have compartmentalized skeleton dishes. I should have used those. Well, next time.

I have a NIB that I bought at the Hoover museum when we were there for the convention. Although every convention is wonderful, that one was exceptional! |

I have (in one of the rooms), both floor washers, blue and yellow, almost all of the Floor A Matics, and most of the Floormates. I have many of the steam mops, too.
I really like the Steamer Jrs. I pick them up every chance I get. |

"My" degrees are in: Theatre, Business Administration, and Education. I came close(2 courses) away from a degree in Philosophy.... but , didn't.
I spent a lot of time at The Hoover Historical Society. It's the accredited museum at Walsh University. I served as a docent there......... volunteering, cleaning, entertaining at Christmas celebrations. It was there that I was shown the correct way to document, display, etc as well as how to treat paper items, etc. I also dated someone who got a degree at the famed Wintertur Museum in Delaware. From that relationship, I learned how to handle art, marble, etc. (There are very specific ways) But my degrees are not in the field of museum studies. I'm just, at best, a pretty good collector. I know what I know, and, I know my limitations. Anything I don't know, I go to the experts to find out. |

When I opened the 'studio' in the Philly area, I had to be careful about the name. I owned the rights to a 'fictitious name", now that the original owner died, but, I used her name on the school. When I finally closed it, canceled everything, and opened my own school, I added: dance, music, piano, voice, drama, gymnastics, printwork, etc. I was able to have it at "Conservatory" status. If I weren't careful, in the performing arts world, I would have been laughed out of Philadelphia! Because, I was up against the 'big guns'.I earned a stellar reputation in that town.
One must be careful about the "legalities" about certain things. |

In 2018 the VCCC annual convention was held in Spokane Washington. Marc had the same JC Penney cleaner in his shop and I purchased it from him. Remember what a fun time we had John?

I'm already starting to plan it out in my head. It's very possible that there will be a very large crowd as it is very conveniently located on the East coast.
Tom A. has promised to come and stay here for a few days to help me with everything. There are lots of neat things to do here. Sam, Joe, Robbie, and I are not far from each other at all. I'll have the house ready...am already planning a nice menu, trips to vacuum shops, museums, etc. It will be interesting AND fun to have THAT many people here in this old place. Fingers crossed!! |

You are terribly kind. I never dreamed I would have these things. I'm very happy to share it with others. And, thanks for the comment on the house. It's been a "labor of love"... restoring a 140 yr old, 12-room house.
But, I'm getting there. In the Summer of 2-21, The VCCC convention will be 10 miles away, in Scranton. The "gang" will be here to enjoy my collection, and a nice dinner. I have a lot to do! lolol John |

I'm already starting to plan.
There could be up to 60 people here. We'll serve fresh fruit, (always), w/ a family secret sauce/glaze, some sort of chicken (prob Italian), home made cole slaw, maybe mac and cheese (from scratch), a homemade cake, cookies, perhaps a cherry pie (for out lactose intolerant) who can't have cake, water, sodas, and gallons of nice, cold ...yes.... "Pittston Hospital" iced tea. Some food items are subject to change. Sound enticing? |

I HATE hot tea, but love iced tea. I love the smell of coffee, yet, I might only drink 2 or 3 cups a YEAR! This iced tea was made years ago in a crock on a stove at the famed "Pittston Hospital". It was known, especially, for it's stellar school of nursing.All over the U.S., if you mentioned. "Graduate of Pittston Hospital School of Nursing", you were hired!! Because of our rich coal mining region, it was also quite known as a superb "burn treatment center", for the treatment of mining injuries.
A few years back, I, along with a 'team', wrote and directed a documentary about the hospital and it's leadership. I unearthed the "recipe". For a bout a year, 7 of us would meet in my home to pour over photos, interviews, etc, to go into said documentary. All of these retired nurses grew up on that tea. I surprised them all by serving it to them. They were amazed and "nostalgic" about it. I make it ever since. I was born in that hospital, as were most of my family. I learned that my father was the last person to die there, before the brand new, state of the art hospital opened. So, the place is near to my heart. It's been called a lot of things. Some, who have no history or respect for the place, (or me, for that matter), have called it a mental hospital. Say that to the faces of those who worked there and see how far you'd get. But, we cannot be responsible for the actions of others.... only our own. So, gallons will flow in 2021 when The VCCC convention meets here. By the way.... the hospital was cleaned regularly with Hoover vacuums. This post was last edited 12/01/2019 at 14:22 |

Your house and collection is just beautiful. As for the trivia: was DELFT BLUE also used on Celebrities and some Spirits? Are you partial to uprights? I'm not seeing as many canisters. |

How kind you are !
Delft blue was also the color of the 719 Convertible.I don't believe it was used on anything else. Here are a few more tidbits of Hoover...some 1940s machines, the famed 1076 in action. I had just finished the complete restoration of that room, and unrolled that Chinese rug. It still sheds. That is also the 'back staircase'...leading to the (maid's room)..now , the (cats' apartment)... soon to be also the Hoover "gallery". Also, there's a nearly mint model 67 Convertible in "fawn brown". |

king of household appliances. They even had Knapp-Monarch... a 'division' of Hoover, which they eventually sold. Of course, in England, laundry machines made them vast income!!And, that goes back decades. I have one of the first 'mixers', a big, heavy one.Here is is, along the newer, 1960s types. I believe it came out in the 50s. BUT, Hoover made an iron, early, with the famous 'pancake' dial, which came out in the 40s, similar vintage as the 28 upright. By the 60s they were in full swing, into the 70s as well. Later, they decided to concentrate on 'floor care'. I can check my facts w/ Tom in Ohio. He'll be able to pinpoint it all, as, he'll have all of this at his fingertips. Next time we chat, I'll 'check it out'.

that tea and soda bread in the above photo was a kind nod to the other countries who made Hoover products.
Wasn't being a snob (that I'm accused of being).. or part of my "affectations". Is it a crime to like nice things, work hard for them, and SHARE them with everybody who has ever set foot in that house? I don't really thing so. WE were in Minneapolis at a convention. Joe Kassock was with me. He was asked, "Is "he" really like that...all the time"? Joe replied, "Actually, yea, he is". So, there ya go! |

I thought I would also share some of my smalls. Excuse, the older Hoover blender it needs a good wipe down because I use it often. The can opener has seen better days but is built like a tank!

Here are a few more pics. A beautiful Canister, I have 3 plus the matching Decade 80, in addition to a shade different Decade 80 from the "Vault".
A 'rough' photo of thew place DURING the demo/construction/renovation. There was dust EVERYWHERE! That is a photo of all of the HOOVER buildings/factories. I now have a copy of this in my home. |

Very well done. I see Mr. Carson on the third shelf. Was Stan on more than one Tonight show. I hear they had a good time taping the one show I've seen and that it went well. |
