These were in an estate sale basement where they got more dust on them than in them.With two hoses and no attachments.Even though I can look one block to the former WA store this is only the second WA I have found.Hope to wipe off layers of dust this week.

A surprise. Perhaps they'll become available to somebody.

-"acquiring"--"available"-

The sale was mostly about books for my book store but then these were crying to be rescued from the basement.They can be available starting today but I thought I would start the clean up and possibly find missing attachments.The Western Auto might be a good companion for my Montgomery Ward Portapower.

Another Hoover rescue--

--at another estate sale.As I am going through boxes of books hoping for a few good ones I see Hoover J bags beside bagless Bissells and then a possible aluminum wand in the garage behind furniture and then a dusty Hoover.Pictures soon.

Yes, I’d say that’s about the last Portable, given the plastic hose end like Spirit, Dimension, Sprint, or etc and the later boxy floor/rug attachment.

Would you be willing to sell that Western Auto? I am very interested. No problems if you want to keep it.

Western Auto

First one to contact me and pay $20 and pick up or add packing and shipping can have it with or without hose(that needs cleaning).
