Sad looking Hoover Lark on ebay

[mattl]

One of the classic vacs I'd like to find is the turquoise Hoover Lark from the 50's.  This one popped up but in really sad shape.  Might be a good part donor if anyone i interested.  It's a crime to destroy something like this....

Been looking for a Lark-one that is red-have a Red outer bag and some inner paper bags.Would so like to try one-bet it would be an older Oreck Killer!the bags came from a swap shop-the shop owner gave them to me.And there was an owners manual on the Hoover Lark.Seems like a nice little machine!And yes would like to try the hose and hand tools,too.
