    Had to do a parts run for work today. Need fuel and oil filters for our tractor. Got to handle a few saws today and get some literature.
    It's fun looking at saws on company time. They had a decent amount of inventory and support equipment.

    Speaking of catalogs, I just threw out a copy of a 1902 sears catalog this morning.

    Shame on you. Those could be worth much.

    I remember as a kid waiting on the JCPenny catalog to come in the mail so I could drool over the toys section. Seems like forever ago. Being I spent 26 years as a pressman, I really appreciate the physical print. It's been cut back so far sometimes it's hard to find.

    It is a copy. Not an original. A re-print. A novelty. If it was original, it would be in my archive collection..... :handshake:

    I remember as a kid sitting inside a little building reading a worn Sears & Roebuck catalog. Its funny though. There seemed to be a lot of pages missing...

    A piece of blueboard insulation does wonders for avoiding that "cold seat syndrome" :D

    Back in your days, you probable carried the seat to and from that little building, no?

    Yeah, we didn't have that insulation then.

    That catalog was packed with a kinds of toys. Never got crap from it. As a poor kid I would pretend I won a contest and got to pick one item from each page.

    JCpenny and Sears, also think Best had a catalog. My friends and I loved looking at those catalogs. Like Sourwood, never could get anything from them though.
