Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A trio of vintage mail-order catalogs from Sears, Roebuck and Co., all dating to 1980. This collection includes the 1980 Spring Summer catalog, the Fall Winter 1980 catalog, and the Wish Book for the 1980 Holiday Season. These printed paper ephemera items feature full-color cover photography. The Wish Book cover depicts a family holiday scene with a Christmas tree, toys, and a Snoopy plush, while the Fall Winter issue shows children in autumnal attire. Interior and back-cover content includes advertisements for Kenmore laundry appliances and designer home fashions by Diane von Furstenberg, specifically the Eternal Tree Bed Fashions line. The catalogs are constructed with softcover paper bindings and feature standard period typography and layout.
Condition report:
The catalogs exhibit signs of age and handling consistent with vintage paper ephemera. Visible condition issues include moderate shelf wear, creasing to the covers and spines, and minor edge tearing. The covers show some surface scuffing and corner bumping, though the volumes remain largely intact.
