~ There is currently on eBay a "Thor" hand vacuum which is the same exact machine as the much-sought-after "Kirby Utility." Does anyone know anything about the Thor?
There are six days left on the auction and it's already up to $316 and change, so it seems collectors have already gotten whipped up into a frenzy over it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux137's LINK on eBay |

I have the Kirby Utility and the Thor is the same in every respect. I haven't looked at any patents..I didn't even know the Thor existed but someone copied the other. |

I would love to see this rare hand vac and Kyle's Thor upright ending up in the Vacuum Museum for all to see and enjoy when they visit. Very rare examples of any make or model need to be there. They should be displayed together as a pair. |

Scott and Fetzer must have private labeled that machine as a Thor for the Hurley Washing Machine Company. So much private labeling was going on in the 1920's.
I would bet dollars to doughnuts that Miss Pupek snipes it at the last minute. I think it's called Robobidder. Has it bid $1500. at the last minute and gets the item no matter what the high bid is or was. |
