Sears Catalogs on Ancestry.com....

I signed up for my month long trial yesterday. And I did get a chance to look at some of the catalogs that I do not have in my collection.

And then I did FINALLY answered the question which was burning inside me for such a long time.

While I have seen some Lady Kenmore Washers from the various years and from various eras, I have never seen what a 1962 Lady Kenmore looked like. Well, I finally got that chance yesterday. And the answer is, there WASN'T a Lady K produced for 1962 (at all).

It was a JUST a Model 800 (Four Star) Machine back in 1962. But it had a console just like the 1963 that followed a year later, and thus, it was finally rebadged as a 1963 Lady Kenmore Model 800.

It was fun scrolling through all of those old catalogs over the last two games. I finally got to learn a whole lot in the last two days than I have learned in my 13 years as a member of this club.

Great site, you should try it. But you still have a chance to opt out before your month's trial is over.

It cannot get any better than this.....

These catalogs were a trip down memory lane. I found so many of the toys from my childhood that I had forgotten about. Does anyone have any links to other Sears/JC Penney catalogs?
 
Oh,MY

Look at the 27'' tall TOY washer on page 386 in the '62 Wishbook.''Holds up to a quart of water''.

I had several crank/battery toy washers as a kid,but none were that sizable.

Wah,I WANT one!
