I am looking for an Ad I was in in the 1953 Sears catalog. I modeled a girls raincoat. I would love to have a copy of the page. My mother’s copy was destroyed.
Please respond

In reply to NeeNee. NeeNee, thanks for stopping by! Good to have a fellow Lileks' reader here. An antique shop, eh? I may have to come visit you and check out your store. I always need an excuse for a road trip every now and then!

Hi, Jen!
L-o-o-o-o-o-ve your site!! Accidentally found you whilst reading Lileks’ Bleat comments. At first I thought it was MY Jen (oldest daughter Jennifer, to whom I had emailed the Price is Right & Match Game comments last week).

I have an antique shop here in our western Iowa town. Right now I have lots of 1950s/1960s catalogs, as well as a smattering of vintage utensils & oddities.

In reply to Living - Wonderful Miniatures. I get some of them as gifts, as I did this one, but others I've found on eBay and at consignment or antique shops. I love the bound collections, but they are also hard to find. eBay would probably be the best bet for those.

Where do you get the old catalogues to look through?
