Here tis..my Constellation and other finds today

[petek]

as well as the Royal handvac the guy threw in...and there's that As new Oster in avacado..I can't find even the slightest mark/scratch on it anywhere. The model is the Imperial Pulse-matic 10, glass jar. As for the Royal.. I don't know anything about them...never seen one and can't tell how old it is, just looks old.

Your blender has a timer! I'm jealous!

That's a beautiful Constellation! I have a turquoise one. What's the model number on yours? Does it say North Canton, Ohio, or someplace in Canada? I have one upright in my collection that was made in Canada.

It's a Model 866 Scott

Made in Hamilton, Canada. I remember that factory, it was not too far from my granma's house and we'd pass by on the city bus when I used to go stay with her.The Hamilton plant made most of Hoovers export products to the UK including the spinwashers. Probably had something to do with UK duties and excise being cheaper if they came in from Canada than the US at the time. I haven't got a Hoover blender though, yet!!
It's missing the filter cover inside as well..so using a towel for now. The guy I bought it from at the flea market says he gets Constellations in from time to time.

Google airider, there's a UK company marketing a new floating vac which looks interesting except for the price.

John..that's not a timer it's the on/off switch on the right, on the left is the pulse button which can be used for all 10 speeds. I have a 70's Avacado Waring somewhere round here with a timer though

Really cool and useful trio of appliances!!Have one of those Royal "Prince" hand vacs-effective-too bad the new owners of Royal discontinued that model!!Also like very much the older Oster blenders. Have one myself-much BETTER than the new ones--Would like to run into a Hoover Constellation.Found one at one of the swap shops here-but was too beat up to consider.My Mom also used to have an older Oster Blender-used to fix my milkshakes in it as a kid!!Loved using it.It was so quiet and powerful.The Oster one I have I got from a garage sale along with an older Vita-Mix.Fixed up both and use them.
