Well, you're in luck, because that was just the first part of a two part conversation.
For YEARS, I loved saving catalogs that showcased whatever toys I was into. I didn't keep most of them though.
I think I may still have a few. Maybe I should get to scanning it.
I posted a bunch of images from the Sears and Montgomery Ward wishbooks to my collection. Not sure how to link to it directly.
Wow, mind if I post these as an article? I love this stuff!

Go right ahead. I found them on a website that had scans of tons of old catalogs. I'll try to find that site again.
Oh, they aren't your scans? Nevermind then.
