SEARS, ROEBUCK AND COMPANY

General Catalogues

In date order.


07423-M1008EHAL- Catalogue- SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., Chicago, Ill., U.S.A. Catalogue No. 112, 1902. By this time the ”big book” was impressive to say the least, published in paper and hardback (50¢ and $1.00). This one is the big hardback. Richard Sears had problems with printers early on and by this time had moved his catalogue production in-house. They occupied and entire block bounded by Fulton, Desplaines, Wayman and Jefferson Streets. The engravings have been improved, paper is higher quality and merchandise selection is quite impressive. Faded place on front and front hinge slightly shaken. Some wear to bottom spine edge. Three pages in the curtains/rug area have been neatly razored out. In all other respects catalogue sits up square and clean and is in much better condition than many we get this old. There is only one page devoted to the electric belts in this catalogue. 9”x 11-3/4”x 1,088pp.  $239.00  Pictures


07418-M1008CLSS- Catalogue- SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., Chicago, F/W 1918, Sample Book of Ready To Wear Clothes For Men and Young Men. Multiple fabric samples throughout catalogue. We thought initially there were a few samples missing (perhaps seven) but on closer examination it appears there were never samples on these pages. Very nice art throughout of suits, overcoats, pants, riding breeches, etc. Remarkable piece of history! Cover wrinkled at spine. It appears staples have been replaced. 7-5/8”x 10”x 56pp. $72.00  Pictures


07408-C0808EHAL- Catalogue- SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., Philadelphia. No. 143, F/W 1921. Full lines. Five pages of Christmas decorations and goods, five pages of candies, 46 pages of toys, games, trains, etc.! They crammed the regular big fall/winter catalogues with all this before they began publishing a Christmas catalogue in the early 1930’s. Clothes, shoes and hats for entire family (lots of high button shoes); cowboy, Indian, soldier suits for the kids. Kitchen goods, furniture, farm equipment, pocket knives, straight razors, organs, fountain pens, cream separators, several pages of Silvertone phonograph players. One is a gatefold in beautiful color. Elgin bicycles, bicycles supplies, auto goods and tools, specialty bodies for Ford automobiles, flywheel gasoline engines, harness, saddles, buggies, trunks, water pumps, musical instruments, sewing machines, rugs, guns, jewelry and watches, beautiful clocks, flashlights, sporting goods, wooden nice boxes, Hoosier type kitchen cabinets, wood cook stoves and heaters, and hundreds or other selections! Very nice color pages interspersed here and there. Part of spine covering is missing, otherwise very good condition and catalogue sits up square and tight. 8”x 11”x 1,276pp. $122.00  Pictures


07395-C0808EHAL- Catalogue- SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO., Memphis, Tenn., No. 155, F/W 1927-1928. Very nice selection of merchandise. This is just before the crash of ’29 and you can tell everyone was enjoying a high degree of prosperity by these merchandise lines. A number of years ago this writer was in a discussion with an old timer about the economy and I asked him what the best year was in his memory for him and his family. He thought a moment and then said it had to be 1928. He then described, I thought very eloquently, the contrast from 1928 to the bleak days of 1929 and beyond for years. These vintage catalogues reveal very well the condition of our economy at any given time. Well, the catalogue-- Full lines with everything imaginable offered: clothing and shoes for the family, household goods, furniture, radios, bicycles, stoves, auto accessories and parts, sporting goods, tents, firearms, traps, rods, reels, tackle, basketball, football, boxing, tennis, shaving goods, razors, pocket knives, luggage, 5pp of Christmas decorations, 38pp of dolls, games, electric trains, 6pp of candies; pipes, lamps, small electric  appliances, flashlights, 20pp of musical instruments, 6pp of phonographs, 6pp of radios, watches, jewelry, cameras, fountain pens, clocks, agricultural equipment, wagons, windmills, poultry equipment……you get the idea!  Very good condition. 8-1/4” 11 x 1,086pp. $122.00
