It came from the Sears Catalog received these awards and accolades:
From BPM culture, a electronic music magazine:
Sears Catalog 1971
This was the crown jewel of my recent wanderings. I actually can not remember
when I laughed so hard at a single website. As the title describes, these are
actual scans of a Sears catalog from 1971. Although the pictures are priceless,
the commentary that goes with them is what will drop you. At the same time
however, those of you who actually were alive during the early 70’s will
wonder how you ever survived this acid driven fashion nightmare. This is going
on my Top 10 Websites of All Time.

BLAST FROM THE PAST, era 1971
Let's scan the pages of the Sears Catalog from 1971, shall

bears repeating here. http://www.robotmonstertoys.com/apw/sears.htm

There's nothing quite like cranking up the Wayback machine every now and then
— for the sake of nostalgia. Maybe too, to better understand why as a society
we stopped doing certain things. It came from the 1971 Sears Catalog! is a look
back at a fashion catalog published by the retailer Sears (http://www.sears.com/
) at the height of the synthetic fabrics craze. Commentary from Linda Causey
adds to the entertainment.

The author of this site found this Fall 1971 Sears catalog at
an estate sale. "I was hoping to find some nice toy pictures
in this catalog ... I did find over 1600 pages of pure
ugly. I present the highlights from this catalog. Some of
the pictures inspired stories, comments and questions. Other
pictures do not need any commentary at all."
