Hey Kyle:
As always, excellent job. I have one I'll give you that you might really want to restore. It's a model 91 Hoover, made in the USA, with it's ORIGINAL bag. Runs, and looks OK but needs your help to be perfect. The 91 is a very rare model and I'm willing to give it to you to restore and sell. d y s o n m a n 1 at h o t m a i l dot c o m. | ||

Kyle:
Yes, that's the bag, but the machine is finished in what I would describe as a taupe (brownish) color (which is original, not repainted). Not the grey of the later models. The hood and headlight rubber guard are identical to the one in your pic. I have a good number of machines I will give you if you want them. They are all restorable, but you do a far better job than I do (and I'm also an old man so the carpal tunnel fingers don't work like they used to)

Nice work. You beat me; I still haven't finished mine. Did you make a new bag? Cuz if you did, that means there are now TWO silk screens out in the world for Cadillac bags. I bet that's more than exist for most vintage vacs lol.
Mine is model 122F, though generally the same. Interesting how the nozzle casting is a little bit different than mine, yours is more chiseled, mine is smooth. How did you come up with the year 1938? From what (admittedly little) I know, this is a later model, most likely just post-war. The earlier machines have the voltage stamped in the model plate, the later ones have it printed. Though if it is post-war, it has to be just barely, because later examples have webbing / supports cast into either side of the nozzle, yours does not. Fascinating to see all different examples of Clements' machines. How just about everything they made was with different parts and screws mixed and matched without rhyme nor reason. Though I suppose having a world war right in the middle might've had some effect on that. It looks like your bearing plates are held with the decorative knurled screws. Something I've seen on older machines, but again, seems like they just did whatever. Nice to see how the belt shaft unscrews from the fan. Mine is hopelessly stuck on, I just left it alone. (You've got the front wheels on the wrong way 'round.) | ||
