Found a cool website today with various Christmas catalogs and "wishbooks" from 1933 to the early 80's

Ken:

Thank you so much for posting this link! The 1958 Sears Christmas Book is one of the hardest to find and the most expensive to buy - I've been looking for an affordable copy in good shape forever. I'll be downloading the entire thing.

You are welcome, glad I was able to help out!

I spent several hours last night going through many of those catalogs and still haven't looked through all of them...

I remember the smell of the Christmas Catalogs more than what was in them. They had a very particular odor to them.

And who couldn't wait until they arrived each year.

THANK YOU! I can relive my childhood of the late 70's/early 80s now. And so much more economical than buying all that stuff on eBay! I think my sister has purchased everything she ever owned as a child on eBay. LOL
