I recently bought a 1908 Sears Roebuck catalog at auction. They made a reproduction of this catalog in the 90s but this one was the real deal. Front cover was gone and back few pages damaged pretty badly, but the 900+ pages in between have some really cool stuff. I decided that given the lack of cover the best thing to do with this may be to "part it out". I have been removing selected pages and framing them. Will post my first few that I have done.
Here are a couple pages from the shoe section displayed with some foot/shoe stuff I collect. I like the little boys shoe page that says "made just like papas" The entir cobbler set up cost just $2.09
jamiedpt: I envy you having a actual catalog-I have the 1902 and 1908 large reproduction from the late 1960s-refer to them quite often-thanks for sharing with us
thanks tony Michael, sayer and bellin
