Found this website a few years ago....super fun to reminisce and page through the catalogs and see prices, etcNot a commercial, but does anybody else remember the JCPenney Christmas Catalog each year? That thing was fantastic! I'd start at the back page and move toward the front. Seems like the instruments and such were about midway through. I loved that thing.

Literally, a few of these seem committed to memory as I remember looking through them hundreds of times as a kid.
