11. A Eureka Mighty Mite vacuum

Paid $1.00 back in 2000 at a garage sale. The on/off switch got stuck on-on a couple years ago but we just plug it into a power strip.

I swear that thing can suck a bowling ball thru a garden hose.

It sits next to a a 5yr old $200 Hoover bought brand new. On-off switch quit working altogether 2yrs ago. I'll put a new switch on the Hoover whenever I get out of this dsmned nursing home.

The Mighty Mite came with all accessories& the box.

I'll be damned!!! Just saw some of it's relatives on eBay for $50-$70. Most of them were more angular, I think, but one was even the same color, burnt orange?

What part of OH you at? In general, tell if you want. I'm Northwest of Dayton in darke county.

Not a native. Family moved back on 1964 after mom met an airmen stationed at Elsworth. He's from KY but his disabled dad lived in dayton then.we lived on Oxford Ave. for 2 yrs. Moved out because of neighborhood changing after riots in Dayton in '66&67'. Jefferson School got kind of rough.

Take care.
