World War II Christmas

This came from an estate sale, a Lord and Taylor Christmas catalog from 1946. Lord and Taylor is on Fifth Ave in NYC, working hard to make a come back. For those in their 70s, it still has a certain allure. The pop-up tree in the front steals Christmas but the whole illustration of products and copy is great fun to peruse. What kind of gifts the well-to-do gave at the end of the war. See more unusual gifts here.
