Vintage Vacuum Cleaner Attachments
As a vintage vacuum collector or someone looking for attachments for their old vacuum cleaner friend there are a lot of parts still available. It just takes some searching but they are out there. Here is a list of some items you can still get and some that are quite rare. |
I have recently acquired a vintage hand held vac and I need to find a replacement bag because the old one is ripped up and halfway taped together. I want to say that it’s older than 1974 because it’s a Eureka-Williams. The model is #150, serial#: AT 1091935. The bag says it’s a style E, which they don’t make anymore. Is there an equivalent?
Thanks,
Gehlen.
Hi I saw your site and just thought I would ask if you had any original outer cloth bags for a Hoover Model # 63 the original bag had the Hoover Logo on the back and HOOVER Printed in large white letters on the front. Also I am looking for the original dusting brush for my vac’s attachment set? If you have any of these items in good shape that you would be willing to sell let me know by email. Thanks

I just saw a vintage set of Hoover attachments. I’m sorry I don’t know the model, but it was for an upright vacuum. They are all mounted on a brown heavy cardboard display with “straps” to hold the tools on and a brown ribbon handle/hanger. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 -20″ square.They are used, but the set seems complete. Would this be something of interest to anyone on here? I saw them at a thrift store and thought a collector would love to get them.
I forgot to mention, at the bottom center of this set/case was a moth eliminating device os some sort. I didn’t read the details, but the instructions for how to use it were tucked in behind it. Interesting find.
Hi I would like some info on a GE canister vacuum model #v11c4. It was my grandma’s & I would like to know if it worth anything. Any help would be great. Thanks
We cleanod out dad’s old electroluxe collection, going back to the screw in hose model IV. I have loads of floor tools for the early vacs, several sets of wands, and several foggers and sprayers, some still in the box.
I will trade some or most of my excess floor tools for a screw in hose or an older snap in hose for my remaining model IV. I would like to get a screw in end for my vac, (either the entire end or just the screw in piece.)

I have just listed my Hoover model 725 on Ebay for $15 plus $40 shipping. It’s from 1929-31, I believe, and it runs great. I don’t have time to do a full restore and it’s just waiting to be shined up. Sale ends in less than a week. Just do a search for Hoover 725 as i believe it’s the only one on the market currently. Thanks

I have a Hoover Commander vacuum cleaner I’m interested in selling. I’m not sure of the year, but my parents were married in 1939 and I see in some research I’ve done that this style was made from 1939 to the mid-1950s. I’d like someone who collects vintage vacuums to have this.
yes i have a canister fairfax and it is old i was wanting to know how much it is worth and sell for i do have pics if needed it is all chrome or metal
I can remember the first vacuum cleaner we had at home was the low cylindrical type much like the one I can see in the top right hand corner of this web page as I type. I don’t remember the makers name but I was fascinated by the logo it carried which was an eagle or other bird of prey. Can anyone tell me the maker of this model?
Message to Wayne King, are you still out there and do you still have that Airway Model 55A , if so I am interested ~ please contact me ~
Message to Robertino ~ if you still have the Romanian and Russian vacuums can you provide photos to me ~
Regards,
David
I have Eureka roto matic from 1926 in the box that I need to sell.please contact me at 4046643266
Helped clean out and repair a 92 year old WWII vets home this weekend. He was an Electrolux salesman and repairman for MANY years. As the volunteers tossed out the stuff, I began to realize these vacs were his life. Instead of letting it go to the landfill, I began putting the stuff on my trailer. Would you be interested? Need pics?
I have an Airway Sanitizor with attachments that was purchased in 1951-53 by my father. It still works. It’s been in storage for decades. If anyone is interested, make me an offer.
