音频游览 1918 Sears & Roebuck Toys

Interested in the 1918 Museum Collection?  So is our owner, Linda Mueller!

I bought a 1918 Sears catalog because Albert Loeb was an executive of Sears when the property (Loeb Farms) was under construction.  I carry copies of catalog pages when we travel, especially to antique toy shows.  Some years, I find more 1918 toys than others; 2010 was a particularly good year.  Children visiting the castle can see what they would have gotten for Christmas in 1918.  Some of the toys, like Tinker Toys, trains, dolls, and card games, are still around, but obviously, computer games are missing.
