bought these earlier today and i was wondering how old these actually are. From the look of the label, I was thinking maybe 30's 40's?(hopefully) Also, whats the best way to keep these safe and display them at the same time?
I dont know if you can tell from this crappy camera but the tag says:"Strictly First Quality" on that bottom corner.
Sears was Sears & Roebuck until, I think, the 1970's, though these do look earlier and I'm not sure if they used the shortened "Sears" prior to the change. No help at all, I guess!
Even though their name was officially Sears Roebuck & Co., it was known as Sears since.... not sure when, at least the 1950s:
Yeah, poor sears. They used to be one of the biggest stores; they had everything! They are being replaced by amazon and online stores now... I'll bet they dont last through 2025.
I'll be surprised if they last through 2017 - apparently they have been selling off their assets to make ends meet. Their problem is they don't sell brands and people shop by brands nowadays.
