Re: Hoover Junior age
No idea, some of the “lifers” may be able to tell you but they were olds when I started almost twenty five years ago!

Oi! I resemble that remark.
How about giving us the model, serial number and colour?
To set you in the right era, the screws that hold the motor to the body, are they Phillips or Pozidrive? (There is a distinct difference) If they are pozi, it is post 1967.
Over to Martin when you come back with the results for the above.

Picture would help,is it cloth bag with paper bag inside?
It’s the one that Dyson re invented anyway,a few out landish colours and you can see the dirt circulating.

This is the original Hoover Junior though I suspect madrat refers to something a lot younger…….. 😉

Hoover Junior age
Hi Madrat
The closest dates fo each Hoover is as follows
1134 — 1967
1334 — 1958
1346 — 1967
U1104 — 1985
Hope this helps

Re: Hoover Junior age
Suspect the 1134 would be a few (20) years older than 1967, possible typo perhaps?
There again I trust Martin’s memory on these more than mine.

Oh!…Testing my grey matter this is Alex, but whilst I don’t know the production years I have a good recollection on model number order.
The photo I gave shows the 370 they subsequently followed by 375, 119, 1224, 1334 the so on as per madrat’s listing…… I’ve not come across an 1134 or at least I don’t recollect the number?….?
I am the proud owner or a 375 (circa 1950). 😀
Re: Hoover Junior age
A picture of my collection so far.
From digging around the internet, I have found out the 1124 was introduced in 1955 – 58, the 1334 with pink trim first introduced in 1958 (would love to find original rolldown bag for this) The 1346A in Navy & White 1972 – 75 (just like Mum used to have) I can’t find a date for the U1104.
For some reason the U1104 has been cut out of the picture??
Hoover Junior age
Nope, I’ve never, ever seen a Hoover 1124 ( a Hoover Convertible 1124A yes)….!
Check out YouTube if you will, there’s loads of muppets there demonstrating their ancient contraptions. By the way, the 119 had the longest production run of all the Hoover Junior range. Only the 1334 outsold the 119 though it was far more an efficient machine for its size. The 1334 was heavier and harder to manoeuvre than the 119 hence why the ‘handle bail’ failed so very often…..oh happy memories come flooding back.:D
