Here is a beautiful Kirby Vacuum Model 508 from 1948 ! This particular unit came from a neighbor of Mr Kirby himself . It came in a box with all the goodies but needed some TLC.
*Bag in the pic is a reproduction I made. I’ll post another pic with the original bag ,attachments ,boxes etc. soon.

Interesting
David,
What a great looking 508 one of my favorite Kirby's. I noticed the handle fork is different from other early Kirby's. I have the same fork from a 508 I restored and had never seen another until now...very cool. Here are the before and after pics of the 508 note the handle fork. Side note: I gave this Kirby 508 to my brother as one of my Kirby lamps, that now sits in his living room. I hope to add another 508 to my collection someday. Jim | ||

Kirby lamp
David,
I have two lamp assemblies done at this time. One with the early Kirby fork at the bottom and a 516-DS50 fork style at the top. I would be more than happy to send you one of these if you would like. Send me an email with an address you would like me to send it to, and let me know which one you would like and I'll send it out to you. Here are pictures also of other Kirby lamps I have done.
