I guess I took the wrong thing away from this piece — where do I lay my hands on a sweet, sweet physical copy of the 1908 Sears catalog?!

  From Amazon of course! https://www.amazon.co.uk/1908-Sears-Roebuck-Catalogue-Schroeder/dp/0873490185 https://www.amazon.co.uk/1908-Sears-Roebuck-Catalogue-Schroe... There’s also a copy on the Internet Archive, I’ve yet to find the portable forge: https://archive.org/details/catalogueno11200sear/ https://archive.org/details/catalogueno11200sear/

    High grade wagon scales is my favourite find to date: https://archive.org/details/catalogueno11200sear/page/760 https://archive.org/details/catalogueno11200sear/page/760 (Scales is singular, isn’t it?)

      In the same way that pants or trousers are singular, yeah. It’s really a pair of pants, trousers or scales. With all these things you need two to make them work.

        Glasses as well, for two-eyed people.
        • zeristor 7y ago
          Or four eyed

    Near the ACME anvils, of course! https://archive.org/details/catalogueno11200sear/page/528 https://archive.org/details/catalogueno11200sear/page/528 Such an amazing catalog, I could spend many hours paging through it.
