Archive of Sears and JcPenney's Catalogs

[kloveland]

A guy in the vacuum Facebook groups posted several pages from this website. Just thought I would share the link.

I didn't realize this site existed until now. I own several of these catalogs (as do many collectors). However, it is so nice to see them all digitalized and in one place.

OMG!

I knew about wishbookweb.com; but I had no clue this site existed!! Thanks Kenny!

There's also this site here

http://www.wishbookweb.com/the-catalogs/

It seems to me like that other site might be pulling the data from Wishbook, but it seems to load faster, so IDK. It goes past 1997 too all the way up to 2011 too, which is interesting.

If anyone knows where to find 1920's catalogs or earlier, I've been trying forever to find this Sears floor polisher that I have, when it came out. The only lead I have is it has their catchphrase on it "the worlds largest store" which they used in the 20s.

Wow!

Talk about jumping in the Wayback Machine! Glad those have been archived and are readily accessible.

Amazing to see the changes in machines (and prices) within just a few years.

Kenny,

Will Hemb has those. It was great to see when I was at his home a few weeks ago.
I have a few JCPenney machines: Dial A Matic, uprights, polishers, and, even, a stick vac.
YAY!

Thanks for posting that, I have some of those, it's nice to see them all compiled online. That would be a lot of work getting those all scanned in!
