What most people don't know is that this was the original logo for the V.C.C.C. and here's another one that I'm sure you know quite well John. But I wonder how many have seen it in recent years.

The original V.C.C.C. logo was a non-electric vacuum cleaner from about 1890. 'The Baby Daisy.' It was a British machine, though I have no idea of the backstory. I first saw it at the Hoover Historical Center in 1980, and when we were looking for a logo I turned to Stacy Krammes director of the Hoover Center, her daughter Liz, was studying to be a graphic artist, so we hired her. That logo was replaced around 1993. So the cake is both vintage, and a vacuum cleaner. Both fitting for this category.
