 A family friend's brother is moving to assisted care. I was asked to 'go through some things' to see if there was anything I'd like. They planned on me having the vacuum. And, there it was: model 1170, power drive in taupe, with tools. A few of the attachments are missing. But, they might show up before the movers come. It's nice to add another model to the rest. Pics forthcoming. | ||

"Would anyone care to see that?" *Frantically waving hand in the air* Maybe it's just me, but I'd enjoy seeing an "array" of vintage Hoovers displayed just about anywhere! The nice vintage staircase is just an added bonus! | ||

Thanks, Billy You have a great eye. Yes, "that staircase" is the perfect place to spotlight almost anything. If you ever saw it before it was totally restored. there are some pics of it somewhere.
And, like shorts, cookies, tea, etc, because of the ribbing, I just go farther...because I can. WE can't help that some people have no taste, no class, no manners, or, are just plain stupid. Not our concern. So....... Fall decor, Halloween decor, Hoover decor. .. It's all good.
I'll have to start arranging some cleaners, etc. The staircase was even shown on the HBO special that covered The VCCC convention. yay!
