Condition

Excellent vintage condition. The appliance has been electrically tested and tagged as safe and working. The cream housing, hose and bonnet present exceptionally well for their age. The carry case is very clean overall, with minor age or storage wear and a small area of edge separation to one upper corner, as shown in the photographs.

A superb display piece for collectors of Australian design, vintage beauty, hairdressing equipment, mid-century appliances, Sunbeam memorabilia and 1960s social history. Please review the photographs as they form part of the description.
