Hey Guys. Anybody have any spare Lewyt parts? I just got another of the machines from the 1966 Lewyt Fashionables series. This one is the model 2186 (blue). I need to find the wands for it yet. I also have the model 2372 (green) but I need to find most of the parts for it, including the accessory holder, as you can see.
Anyone else have some of the fashionables line? |

I recently came across this ad showing a few other machines of the Fashionables line and the parts and tool caddy I am missing for my green one if anyone has them.

These vacuums are really rare so do not be surprised if this thread is dead in the water. I last seen one on eBay in 2017 when I first started collecting - didn't have any idea what it was and it did not look that interesting at the time - so I passed on it. That was a bad mistake. Never seen another one again since. I do have the Shetland Pony hand vac though, but I have never seen another Shetland canister vac since then.
Thanks for posting that advertisement, it shows my hand vac. Do you know what year that is from? Also I think these would be from what is considered the "mod" era, if I am guessing right. The cool little designs and abstract patterns and colors that decorated everything of the time. |
