Yesterday I was browsing the graphic design shelves in the bookstore when I came across a reprint of the 1897 Sears Roebuck & Co. catalog. What an astounding cultural artifact! They sold absolutely everything, and had pictures to boot. I thought I'd share some of the razor listings. Be warned, the sight of a W&B 5/8 being offered for $0.85 may lead to crying.
