Hoover launched the Junior 119 in 1950, although a similar machine had been marketed in the USA as the model 115 since 1949. The 119 was a very contemporary looking small upright cleaner in its day, with very similar models being built by other manufacturers. It was replaced in 1955 by the 1224. This was an identical machine, even down to the use of a shake out fabric dustbag, but the colour palette used on the 1224 was a lot brighter with the use of pastel colours instead of the more severe brown and gold finish of the 119. The 119 was rescued from a pile of rubbish at a local charity shop, while the 1224 was bought from a vacuum repair shop. Both were in good condition when acquired, but have unfortunately suffered from their paint lifting after being stored in a damp place for too long. |
