Sears Craftsman catalog and magnet 1975/76

[59Sled]

Found an old cabinet at my work full of catalogs from the 70’s and 80’s. When I asked about them. They said they have been there for ever and I can have them if I wanted them. Browse through them real quick and this one caught my eye. 1975/76 Sears Craftsman catalog. Also laying in the cabinet drawer was this Craftsman magnet. Not sure how old the magnet is as I can’t not find a picture of another one. I assume it’s from the same era. And I had know idea bit braces were still a thing used in the 70’s. If I get time next week. I will go back through the cabinet to see what other catalogs are in there.

You can still buy bit braces today (okay maybe 5 years ago not sure about today) new in some Ace stores. I wander through them when I'm bored on business travel and have seen them. Yankee style push screwdrivers as well.
