That's a great find! I think I had those bicycle pages memorized. I'm looking for train sets now. Erector sets, legos...I had a ton of those toys through the years. Maybe too many - stunted my maturity development.

Same exact thought.
Went to same exact year and season.
Between rainbow fuzzy filter on HBO and these catalogs, I became an expert in hunting down areolas
Times sure have changed

Hotdang - one of yall was talking about these NFL games

and right here on one page we have the handheled electronic game, the vibrating field game and the best one - the strategy game where you would pick your play then spring the little indicator thingy to see the play result (hint - run a flea flicker).
This is from the JC Penny 81 Christmas catalog

This one gave you two blockers and you could throw a pass. Show this to a kid today and they wouldn't know why we even bothered with it...

Who would have guessed we’d be nostalgic for that stuff?

Or is it a testament to how much the world today sucks?

My grandmother had one of those.
Nov 26, 2021, 9:19 AM
[ in reply to I'd pay $112 right now for this fridge. ] |
|
The handle was still tight in the late 50s and the freezer, which I had the pleasure of defrosting had to be defrosted pretty often. I remember my grandmother saying 'Charles, we need a new refigerator,' to which he replied, ######, Nan, that one works fine.' Nothing more was said in ear shot.
I also remember the local Sear's store delivering a new one a couple days later. I thought I could play hide and seek in the old one but my grandfather removed the door when he got home from work. All that was only 60 or so years ago.
