A late 80s rebranded Royal 501, likely for a special store or catalog.
Think you forgot a decimal in the price though... Very few vacs are worth that and most of em are restored 1930s Kirbys.

What kind of motor did it use? Was it the same as the ones used in the plastic Dirt Devil hand vacs? |

"People really need to quit doing this. This is why everyone hates giving out information on here. People join that are scalpers, get told its rare, then flip it on eBay for a 5 figure sum of money as soon as they get the first comment."
Hold it right there! Kwitcomb7159 did nothing wrong here. If anything, YOU are the one in the wrong here for making such a arrogant statement! HOW DARE YOU criticize someone who has a vacuum coming on here, looking to communicate with collectors, and looking to get some information?! What a member decides to do with that information once they receive it is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! That handvac was Kevin's property, for him to do with as he wished....if he chose to sell it, as he did, he did NOTHING WRONG AT ALL! Yes, perhaps Kevin should have stated in his first posting that he wanted information so he could sell it, but he had no ill will or malice by posting here. It's attitudes like YOURS, Huskyvacs, that's stopping new members from joining and posting here. And those attitudes need to end NOW! If you don't like it, leave the forum! |

You are never friendly to anyone Rob 😂 If you really want to get down to it, your attitude is the reason why nobody wants to join anymore. The issue at hand was resolved so why attack anyone? |
