Wish Book Catalogue Website

[eurekaprince]

Not sure if anyone has posted this before, but I just discovered a wonderful website filled with vintage catalogue “wish books” from many major retailers such as Sears, JCPenney and Spiegel.

Great vacuum cleaner archive here, with model numbers and prices!

Yes, Eurekaprince

And there's also a website of my own
on Etsy called Sears Catalog Search.
I can access nearly every Sears catalog
from 1896 through 1993 for anyone, and
email you actual page screen-shots for
just 50 cents per page.
Here's the link:

Well I can't get the Wishbone site to load the catalog once I click on it! I just get a new blank tab with a brown background.

WishbookWeb

I LOVE that website! I’ve been personally visiting it for years, and have directed many folks to that site as well! Ultralux88, try this www.wishbookweb.com. Once there, click on “The Catalogs” link and you’ll be right where you need to be!

Flash player problems...

Got it worked out, finally. I wonder what they'll do when Adobe kills off Flash in 2 years?

Anyway, very fun to look through, was pig to see the machine my picture, but I found the model before and after it instead.
