Hello everyone today I found at Goodwill (work) a late 1950s Hoover Model 704 Upright Convertable Vacuum Cleaner that was still in remarkable condition for its age except for a little bit of normal scuff marks from use on the body of the vacuum, even the undercarriage was spotless and rust free and I picked it up for under $10 with my discount.
The remarkable thing about this vacuum is that it still works like a champ and the belts and bags for the vacuum are still available to this day which means that this vacuum is still able to be used even after nearly 60 years.
It even has a head light which still works (after changing out a burnt out bulb).
would love to know a little more about this vacuum and perhaps if there is any collectors value to this thing, I know I looked online and saw a couple of archived ended ebay listings for this vacuum where the vacuums sold for nearly $100 which to me is a lot of money seeing that my job doesn't pay much to begin with. I was thinking about possibly cleaning up the vacuum and maybe selling it but don't know what I should list it at if I do go that way.
Any help, advice or comments welcome.
Thanks,
Levi
