Nearly Identical Catalogs?

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Catalogs, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

As part of the collection of brochures/booklets I received yesterday from my eBay win, I also received three jeep parts catalogs: a 1963 Montgomery Ward, a 1964 Sears, and a 1966-1967 Bergs catalog. I was surprised to discover that the Sears and Berg catalogs are nearly identical. Maury confirmed that his 1968 Sears catalog is also nearly identical. So, if you are bidding/buying late 1960s jeep parts catalogs, I felt folks should be aware of this. Below are some comparison pages.

The covers are customized.

Sears is shown on the top and Bergs on the bottom. The inner cover and first page (labeled page 3) are custom:

Interior pages 4-5 begin the identical part of the catalogs:

1976 Matchbox Flattie, Glider and Trailer **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: After pondering it a while, I decided to get this set for Christmas … better late than never??

I would have been 11 when this jeep and glider set was released by Matchbox. I don’t remember seeing this combo in my 1976 Christmas Sears Wish Book. I’m feeling a bit cheated!

“Original 1976 Lesney England Matchbox Jeep and Glider
Transporter / Gliding Club.

This is a complete set; Condition C-6 due to numerous light marks
mostly on jeep. Not readily noticeable due to color, but can be easily seen under
magnification”

Year? CJ-5 Hinckley, MN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.

Looks like there’s value here. This has a Ramsey PTO and Winch.

“Would guess it’s a 50s willys Jeep. Has a good grille and looks like a pto driven winch. Drivetrain and frame still there. Would like to sell as a whole. Saw the winch alone for 600 on eBay. Would be great if someone wanted to part out what’s left.”
