Here's the youtube video I made of the upstairs collection. There's more vacuums throughout the rest of the museum. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Thevacuumguy96's LINK | ||

Les, I offered to help him as well. He has man extremely rare vacuums. Very beautiful collection and a good majority of them work! There's even a few sections of the museum where you can test them out. | ||

Thank you for documenting it so well. Not many people do, they just rush past most of them.
I gotta ask, in the downstairs portion of the vacuum collection, did you see the first Eureka? I saw a glimpse of it in a different video. It was on it's own little table against the wall, next to some toy vacs. | ||

There are definitely some nice machines in his collection. He didn't used to have nearly as many. I wonder if he talks about the machines, puts them in their historical time slots? I see most are grouped by brand. Stan Kann did that with his collection. That's an interesting way to do it. I always thought grouping them by age was the way to go. Don has a very nice place.

Is there any kind of expert tour guide who knows all about all the cleaners, what models they are, when they were made, how much they cost at the time, etc.? They are grouped loosely by brand, sitting on concrete floors - but is there anyone to talk about them? How much does it cost to walk through there?

Don seems to have quite anarray of machines
there. I see info all around the displays. I'm not sure when/how he started this. I'm not sure if he studied 'museum studies'. I hope/trust all the info is accurate. I know it is at The Hoover Historical Center. It is a bonafied museum, with all the requirements, etc.
I'm not about to start a thing here. Don's assortment is impressive, and, I'd love to visit. | ||

Tom
I'm sure Don knows almost everything about his collection at the museum. There are some yellow plaques displayed and yellow stamps on vacuums about the year that they're from. And it is six dollars per adult to get in.
This is the website: museumofclean.com/... | ||

Thanks Alex
Thanks for the information. The way he has them grouped together without them being in any sort of timeline was something I hadn't expected. Glad to know I can ask him anything about the vintage machines and he'll know. I'll have to put a visit on my short list of things to do, right after my visit to Scranton, PA.
