Database of various holiday wishbooks, ranging from 1933 to 1988. Every page of each catalog is scanned...

I think I've seen a site like this before - not sure if it's the same one. It's a great insight into history isn't it - the one from the 1930s sold car batteries and tyres! The 1984 Star Wars pages also had an odd ewok in it as Paploo was given Wicket's hood and Teebo's axe... :D Wouldn't it be great if you could still order from each catalogue! Oh the memories!

'Dukes of Hazzard', 'The Fall Guy' and 'A-Team' toys. Dang, I want those now lol
I used to have the A-Team curtains in the 1984 book as well as the Super Powers action figures. When I was in high school, I wanted money to buy baseball cards, so I sold off my complete collection of Super Powers figures for $3.00. I should've had my head examined
