The 62 was the last model to use the Handisac bag |

The 63 and 634 were the first cleaners to use the C-type bags |

These were manufactured in the early 50's, like 1950 to '55 |

The last of the side-conversion cleaners, these were definitely some workhorses! |

The 634 is a beautiful machine, and you've sure got a fine specimen there! |

What is the title of that publication/article you posted here? Once upon a time, I found a Dreyfuss-published book in a "Mid-Century Collectible Salon" in San Francisco that was mostly about his design of these series of Hoover vacuums (Model 29 on up). The darn thing cost $150, and I foolishly passed it up. Is that what this publication is??

I always think of Lucille Ball fiddling with a Hoover 62 on "I Love Lucy". I wish I could find a clip of that episode! |
