Saturday Image Bonus 140

This week we have six pages from a 1914 catalogue.  I get such a kick out of the prices and how ornate household items were back in the day.

As always feel free to use any of the images on my website in your artwork but please do not post or sell the original image on the web in a group or collection. If you use one in a project and post it to your site please link it back to here or leave a comment in the comments section of the image on this site so we can all enjoy. I love to see what you create. Please be sure to leave a comment if you stop by. It inspires me to post more.

  1. What wonderful images, Cora! Love those old catalogues...it IS amazing how seeimingly inexpensive things were then...I realize the dollar packed a bit more punch in those days, but...! And the quality and workmanship of everything was so much better!

    Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

  7. Oh I love these, don't you just wish we could have these prices these days, lol, WOW! I have an old Sears Roebuck catalog and love the advertising and of course the prices were great, but back then it was probably seen as a small fortune. Thanks For sharing the wonderful images!
