This is an original Sears, Roebuck and Co. Fall and Winter 1969 Catalog. This iconic "Big Book" serves as an incredible visual time capsule of late-1960s fashion, home decor, electronics, toys, and consumer goods.
As an exceptional bonus for collectors, this catalog includes its original 8-page promotional insert dated July 14, 1969.
Titled "41 Sensational Catalog Buys," this fragile ephemera piece features early-bird summer discounts on perma-prest pants, bulky knit cardigan sweaters, and 99¢ nylon pantyhose.
Because these flyers were intended to be thrown away after the July 1969 deadline, finding one intact inside the matching catalog is highly uncommon.
