A DOMESTIC appliance shop is dusting off some classic vacuum cleaners for a unique sale.
Blackwell & Denton, in Colliergate, York, is selling off the old cleaning devices to make space for a refurbishment at the store.
Chris Watson, 39, managing director at Blackwell & Denton, said the collection has been on display to customers and features a Croydon model which was in use before the Second World War.
Mr Watson said: “I am open to any offers that come in for them from anybody who is willing to give them a good home.”
The vacuum cleaners are still in good working order and have stood the test of time, due to them being made of metal rather than modern- day plastic.
Any unsold vacuum cleaners will be donated to a showroom in Bristol.
If you are interested in buying one of the cleaners, phone Mr Watson on 01904 659066.
