Time again for something different. My Christmas catalog post of a few weeks ago proved to be much more popular than I imagined. I mentioned I had access to a few more at my mother’s house. I was there for Christmas, and snapped some pics. I was going to save these for next year, but why wait? I was able to find 3 old catalogs - Montgomery Ward 1971 and 1972, and the 1958 FAO Schwarz catalog I mentioned earlier. We will begin with Montgomery Ward, 1971.
My choice of 4 (redline) HW for $2.99:
Zoomer-Boomers, never heard of them:
I think these SSP vehicles were big in the 70s:
As most know, JL is a vintage brand name:
Tootsietoy is a very vintage name:
Never heard of Easy Rollers either, maybe similar to Sizzlers:
The cover:
Now on to Montgomery Ward 1972:
Sizzlers:
Interesting larger vehicles:
Some MBX, and I see where the Pocket Cars playsets come from:
More SSP and Tootsie:
The cover:
And now back in time to 1958. First stop, diecast with Dinky and Matchbox, including the holy grail 8 car presentation packs:
Tootsietoy and some likely Japanese-made tin vehicles, and a very un-PC bank (although made as an antique reproduction rather than a deliberately offensive item):
These Schuco models are sought after today:
And a nice spread of classic pressed steel vehicles:
The cover:
That is all.
