How could someone get ahold of an old Sears/JC Penny catalog from early 70s?
Any ideas?

I'm looking for an old toy I had as a child.

Thanks

1. There were some websites I used to read for fun.
Maybe they are still there.

6. THANK YOU!! I've been looking for this game for years....
THANK YOU!

It was called Bing Bang Boing.

And what is so strange is after finding it, I remembered the name once I re-read it.

THANKS!

11. I had one of those.
It had latex balloon "drum heads" that you would bounce ball bearings on in a sort of Rube Goldburg type of fashion, right?

That was hours of fun.

4. Wish I would have kept my Grandparents catalogs now.
1970 was good year, I entered high school.

8. I looked online for a toy electric stove I had as a young child.
I googled until I found one that is similar, if not the same, except mine was blue. It was the most fun Christmas toy I ever got &, unlike the wimpy EasyBake oven that uses a light bulb for heat, mine could actually fry french fries. :)
