Nice little collection, Chris!
Electroluxes are what got me hooked too. Although, my first love was the plastic bodied versions. I do have one Model E Automatic now, but it needs a complete restoration. That's way above my pay grade. So, I'll just look at it. It's in decent condition cosmetically. My paternal grandmother did have an older Electrolux, but I'm not sure what model. It may have been a XXX. When she passed, one of my cousins grabbed it before anyone else had a chance. Happy collecting! It's funny how it sneaks up on you! Suddenly, you're a collector! |

Congratulations on your Model G. What a nice example. I love mine, both the household as well as the Hospital models.

Electrolux and Kirby are the two brands around which my collection is centered. I'd had an Electrolux 1205 for almost a decade as my only vacuum cleaner, when I rescued a Kirby Gsix 2001 Limited Edition from beside a dumpster. That was in 2013 and life hasn't been the same since.
You've accumulated a nice collection of vintage 'luxes. My grandparents had either an XXX or an LX that was in use up until my grandfather went into assisted living in the late '90s. No idea what happened to it after that. |
