Archive of Sears, J.C Penney, Montgomery Ward catalogs from the 1940s to 2010s

Brb, sending this to my boyfriend, who was just wishing he could peruse old Sears catalogs.

Bless you, OP!

This almost makes up for the loss of the Blackdogue Playgirl archives.

Almost.

The only thing missing is that new catalog smell! Thanks, OP.

We need an archive International Male and Undergear Catalogs.

I used to love when we got either the Sears or JCPenney's catalogs and looking for the toys and electronic sections were always my favorite. We never had much when I was a kid but being able to look at it was almost just as good really. Also like four of my great-aunts obituaries all mention how they used to cut out chances from like Montgomery Ward catalogs and put them on paper dolls that they made.

When I was 15 or 16 I would look through both the JCPenney and Sears catalogs especially the furniture, bed and bath linens, electronics and appliances. I was putting together the apartment of my dreams when I finally would move from Florida to a big northeastern City and have an exciting gay life!

Love this OP, thank you!

My first job was at J.C Penney's. This was a real nostalgia trip for me.

Man people are so schlubby these days
