Holiday Wishlist from 1982

We all have a wishlist for the holidays. Maybe an I-POD or some wi-fi device or maybe a plasma tv or clothes or something of that ilk.


Maybe the catalog from your favorite store just doesn't list what you want. If that's the case, then you might want to try this.


A friend of mine found this person's flickr site which shows pages from the 1982 Sears Catalog...





ALL 600+ OF THEM!

I don't know what's worse. The fact that someone actually spent the time scanning in 600 pages of a 25 year old Sears catalog or that I found it fascinating enough click through it to pick my favorites.

  1. somewhere I found a copy on line of the 1975 Penny's catalog. I posted about it here http://bus-plunge.blogspot.com/2007/09/scariest-item-in-1975-jc-penney.html, but your post is much better. You got a pretty baby also.
