1897 Sears Roebuck & Co. Catalogue
by Skyhorse Publishing (Paperback)

Imagine it’s the end of the nineteenth century, and, with one catalog, you can buy everything from beds and tools to clothing and opium. (Yes, opium.) Not to mention ear trumpets, horse buggies, and Bibles. The 1897 Sears, Roebuck & Co. Catalogue is both a wonderfully fascinating collector’s item and a valuable piece of American history. For every recognizable item included, there are plenty of others guaranteed to confuse or interest  21st century readers—like Bust Cream or Food and Sweet Spirits of Nitre. What was once standard household fare is today a sometimes strange, often funny look at what life was once like for the average American family. It’s amazing to see that a Princely Shirt for Princely Men cost $0.95 or three for $2.75 or that a Complete Violin Outfit (with bow and case) cost only $2.00.

Value Guide To Gas Station Memorabilia
by Collector Books (Hardcover)

B. J. Summers & Wayne Priddy Many sights and sounds have disappeared from our landscape during the last 50 years. The 'ding ding' of the drive bell at the local service station is one of the sounds that is missed.
