I need to make a confession.................................
I recognize that pink General Electric canister vac. In picture "14." It was my nana's old vac, and we used it to vacuum out the fireplace. Well one day as a kid in the 1970's my brother and I decided to start a fire in the fireplace. We had to put it our before my mom got home from work, I thought it was all out, so we vacuumed out the fireplace, and I put the vacuum bag in the garbage can outside, then I put the can to the curb. We were watching "Roots" on TV when we heard this large BOOM outside, the garbage can was on fire, and the flames reached the telephone lines. I almost shit in my pants LOL. Apparantly the embers were still warm, and all that time in the can with the lid on made it "percolate." That was the last time I used that vacuum. thanks for the memory LOL.
