Well, older sis here started getting her feelings hurt that she would not getting equal time, so here she is in her inflated glory and still cleaning just fine from the 1920s.

More great pics of vintage machines. Have you guys had to do any paint retouching etc to get them back to showroom condition or did you luck out and find them unscathed? I know that's not impossible, that Watermatic I got is almost flawless for its age.

Now, how did I do today? Well I found a Hoover QuickBroom, brown and yellow, pretty good shape and working fine for $5.00. As well there was an older Filter Queen working fine but needing some TLC, I passed on it reluctantly because I didn't want to spend $35 for it. There was no power nozzle and it appeared there was a plug in for one on the motor unit itself. Now that I'm home I'm thinking,, oh just go get it, polish it up and resell it...dunno.

That Eureka 1920's model resembles todays Royals-Actually this is a BETTER design than the Vertical motor design used later-and notice the "Side Fill" on the intake to the bag-That design would give a efficient design in that the dirt is pushed to the side in stead of the airstream blowing thru it.-as in center intake designs.Eureka should "resserect" this design.It could be modified to use a side-fill paper or Filtrete bag!The fill design on my Sebo is sort of like the Eureka.

Here's the Quick Broom I found today..I'm not even sure if that's the name of it because the bag of paper bags that came with it said for Quick Broom, Pixie..etc.
