Very sad, only 25 Sears Stores Left in America

My grandparents lived in a tiny mountain town from the time they got married until they retired. The guns I inherited from my grandpa were originally ordered from a Sears catalog.

 

Yup I got that busted Craftsman tool feeling . I think I bought that extension in 1984.

Recently snapped taking off frozen lug nuts from '83 Chevy PU. Sounded like an explosion when it broke.

 

That’s always fun when you are bouncing on the cheater bar!

 

12 ga single shot from sears is still with me.

 

Ted Williams Winchester 30-30 was my grandfather’s gun, I still have it. My dad bought an SS Kresgee (Kmart in infancy) squires Bingham.22 auto what a piece of chit that thing is. Good for one shot and turns into an auto jammer after that.

 

The big store is a really interesting book about sears. They had so much political infighting and they couldn't keep up with the times.

 

In the mid 1990's they were looking at carrying the CGS Hawk Ultralight. I flew demo flights for the designer at Sun-n-Fun at the time.
