Vintage Christmas Catalogs

Just a quick post to share something I happened upon yesterday. I found the most wonderful website that has vintage Christmas catalogs from 1933 through 1988. You can scroll through the whole catalog. It's a great way to research your vintage items. The catalogs have toys, Christmas items, clothing, shoes, dishes and more! Quite a few of the catalogs are from Sears. I can remember being so excited to look through the Sears Christmas catalog when I was a child. I spent quite a bit of the evening looking through some of these and actually found something I have in one of the catalogs from 1942. Anyway I thought I would share!

The website is http://www.wishbookweb.com/.
