CHRISTMAS CATALOG REPRINTS

These are helpful for reference and delightful as a trip back in time to revisit the joy and  excitement  of being a  child during  the holiday season.  When the first Christmas catalog arrived how we pored over each page and photo. I still think my mother  removed pages of expensive  toys we could NEVER afford like Shirley Temple dolls.  But all possible pages are here with lots of photos and  original  enticing descriptions,  but all black and  white as most were.
