I remember seeing just recently in one of the mega bookstores a catalog from
the Cumberland General Store. What was neat about it was that it looked
just like those old catalogs, and they sold many of the same old useless
gadgets. I did a short web search and found some references to the place
but could not find their site. I'll check to see if the catalogs is still
carried at the store, Amazon has an old one (1991) listed for $15.00

$510 for a catalog. I almost bid on this thing, but the price shot over
two hundred and I passed.

Old catalogs, interesting, but once the price for one goes over a
dollar or two, my interest goes too. I think the most I ever paid for
one was a repro early Sears catalog for about $5, and it was about 2
inches thick. And you've got to remember, on eBay, you also got
shipping.
