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!

There’s also a copy on the Internet Archive, I’ve yet to find the portable forge:

High grade wagon scales is my favourite find to date:

(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.

Near the ACME anvils, of course! https://archive.org/details/catalogueno11200sear/page/528

Such an amazing catalog, I could spend many hours paging through it.
