Okay, so we have to be 60 to like a vacuum. That's interesting theory. The dual sanitronic 80 is one of my favorite vacuums yet it's still 13-15 years before I was born. I have a 1937 3c and a 1922 p a geier handvac and a 1926 royal upright. If we follow your theory nobody on this board can collect past 1950s.
I have an American Lincoln super sweep the 1984 version. I like the ds80 1967-1969. I like history and learning about it. I could argue vacs made after 2000 you shouldn't be able to like. The reasoning is my generation inven3nted it and your too old and smart enough to own one. I also like several sports cars from 1950s to 1971. I like the history behind the vacuum. The internet is advanced because my generation advanced it. My generation also advanced everything to heights it is today. Alles gut endes gut. All is well than ends well. Les |

lol? Why does anyone collect anything? Because it's cool, duh.
Sadly, there is little to no information on Clements-made vacs. There are some out there, though, and I already own 3. The one thing I do know is that Clements was a major player in the vacuum game in the very early days, around turn of the century. |

If you don't want people to make fruitless assumptions maybe you should not yourself.
I'm not closed minded enough to agree with my assumptions. I grew up with the shoddiest Kenmore cannister. It just didn't work well. The first vacuum that did was a g4 Kirby. I collect old vacuums as I feel it carries on the original owners legacy. It's me paying homage to their vacuum and teaching others about it. I have no pre conceived assumptions or beliefs. Al Gore invented the internet. It wasn't the army in the early 1960s. Les Maybe madman bought a Cadillac hand vacuum because he liked the style. I believe then he came across a MFG of a vacuum similar to the Cadillac and it intrigued him. |

Jimmy, Do you have any central vacs?
Your store looks like an amusement park to me. I think I could get lost having fun there. I wish it were closer to me. |

Greg, you're a little bit difficult to converse with, aren't you? To answer your question for a second time, and expound a bit: I purchased a Cadillac vacuum cleaner, that's how I know about them. And I have done research on it and the manufacturer (Clements Mfg Co.). The fellow who started the company was a Chicagoan named George Clements, and he has 10 or 15 patents (which are easy to research) for mostly vacuum-related stuff. The earliest of them are for a large horse-drawn wagon vacuum cleaner. Several of his patents seem to have been infringed upon by other manufacturers. An old Eureka I also own, for example, infringes on his bag design. In fact, he sued both Kirby and Eureka for different things and won both cases, iirc. The name Cadillac for vacuum cleaners also pops up in a few very old google books, mentioned as part of a vacuum cleaners manufacturers association.
The company is still in business today, but it's been split in half and the half that makes industrial blowers is run by a bunch of incompetent a-holes. Just thought I'd mention that. |

~ Hey Jimmy, as you're digging around for stuff, if you happen to come across the brown [not the gray one] plastic cord halo for the 1984 Electrolux Special (Economy) Model and the off-white cord that attaches to two screw-terminals behind the cord winder, would you be willing to send these my way? Thanks... |

~ Thanks Jimmy... I didn't know there were two different types of halos; that doesn't matter to me, as long as it will fit.
I have a Special in beautiful condition. It came with the cord winder which I don't like on that model so I want to replace it with the halo.
I don't need a hose. After taking these photos I found a perfect, original hose. |

most none of the machines he has have left work (cut cords), require alot of restoration to get them running (broken/missing parts such as switches, brushrolls), and he charges a premium because theyre "hard to find". (mostly anything not hoover, kirby or eureka)
granted what i was looking for i knew the issues coming into it and knew it was going to be basketcase to make functional. if youre expecting pristine, clean running machines from what jimmy has left, you will be in for a shock. most of the machines he has are very dirty, moldy or full of dead bugs. he has LOTS of good attachments, parts and hoses that are in decent, but require significant cleaning (bleach or heavy soak in hot simple green) to actually be usable. DO NOT expect what he has to be "user ready" if you go pick his store in person. he is not as rushed to git rid of machines as he makes you think. if you know its not easy to find, he wont let it go for a cheap price. be aware of this upon a visit. also wear clothes you plan on getting dirty, and bring gloves and your own water to drink. i dont know if he cleans up shipped items or not, this is strictly speaking in store picking. |

Would you like me to wait to hear from you, or should I call you in a few weeks to check? Maybe I should have a package of those bags that fit the Sears broom and prepare for the vacs appearance. Jeff |

Good morning Jimmy I don't know if any of them eureka f&g outer bags are vinyl but I prefer them and I forgot to add to the list granted you happen to have 1 a shetland floor polisher with a tank and a headlight. If the shetland I mentioned has a flat handle I would prefer that but I'll take any handle as long as it has a tank and headlight.
Also feel free to offer me anything that would otherwise end up being tossed or scraped. Hope to actually visit you soon. |
