Original Antique 1916 Sears Roebuck & Co.  Catalog No. 133 - Not A Reprint –

 

This listing is for a an original 1916 Sears catalog.

 

The catalog has 1921 pages.  The majority of the pages are black and white (now brown) but it does include several dozen color pages.   I find it extremely interesting to look through the catalog and see the wide range of items that our ancestors could order through a catalog.  Pretty amazing.  The prices are also very interesting.  I collect antiques and there are so many wonderful things in the catalog that I never have had the opportunity to see in person.  I would love to have $1000 and a day to order from this catalog!!!

 

The catalog is in well-loved condition.  The following are the condition issue:

·       The front cover is torn but intact

·       The spine is bent

·       The back cover (pg 1619) is torn off except for a small corner

·       Many of the pages have curled edges

·       Page 57-58 is torn out

·       Several page have tears in them

·       12 pages (24 sides) in the carpet section have been ripped out.  7 of the loose pages(14 sides) are still in the catalog.  This is unfortunate because the pages are there have beautiful carpets shown in color.  The last page (1617/1618) are pretty torn up

·       There may be another page or two missing but I spent quite a bit of time going through it and didn’t find anything else.

Despite these condition issues the pages are intact and all tightly attached to the spine.  You are able to flip through the pages of the catalog without any problem.
