I remember the play mobile, although I never had one. My dad worked for Wards, so Sears catalogs were a no-no..but still looked at those 😜😜😉 pages 🤭🤭. And growing up, it was always referred to as RC - most people didn’t know (or care) the real name !
Been there done that bike jump over your buddies. With rickety heavy old Schwin one-speeds with a big heavy “tank” (nut busters) between the handbar and seat. Nobody had a ten-speed, too expensive and couldn’t handle the abuse. Homemade skateboards made by screwing a taken-apart metal roller skate to the bottom of a scrap of 2X6 and down the street you go. One piece of misplaced gravel meant multiple bloody war wounds to show off at school the next day. Helmets? Knee or elbow pads? Hell no, you’d have been laughed out of the gang.
Seriously, train your wife????? He’s Haw was so silly it was hilarious!
😂🤣
Sorry typo 😩
the man who shot liberty valence. there’s your politician in a nutshell.
I’m glad I grew up when we still ran around barefoot….except that time I stepped on a nail.
Frosties root beer!
I also miss going through the Christmas catalogs to see what toys I was hoping to get!

OMG that Playmobile excites me just looking at it! I want one for display! (I checked eBay and they run up to and over $1,000!)

The cover isn't the part of the Sears catalog I remember most fondly....
That reminds me of the one catalog that had a mistake in a photo of a man showing their boxers that had something poking out. Sometime in early 1970s
Yeeeeeah, TMI LOL
Pretty sure all ours ended up with certain pages stuck together...
My brothers messed up the pages 😂 I had no clue
Jeez, in 1975 I'd be looking at the TOY section, ya perv! :-)
My couch, too. Next to the same hutch. Showed it to my wife, she said it was the same in her house.
All protected by "scotchguard"-- I would spill water on it just to watch it bead up.
Probably lying chemically preserved right now in the bottom of some landfill.
same here!
Maybe it was the only one brown enuf from the Sears catalogs... ?
