This catalog cover is more stunning than it has any right to be — the Neiman-Marcus Christmas Book 1974

Minneapolis School Supply Company Catalog, 1927

With fall just around the corner, many parents and teachers are busy buying school supplies. If you were a teacher in 1927, this Minneapolis School Supply Company catalog from our Trade Catalog Collection could have come in handy. The catalog lists everything from desks and blackboards to paste and pencils. Some of the items -- like Ticonderoga pencils and Crayola crayons -- might still be on school shopping lists this year.

So this is a Christmas tradition you may not be familiar with if you're not American: every year, in the Christmas spirit of peace and reconciliation, people come together to enjoy what the internet was created for: mocking the contents of this absurdly expensive catalogue. The Williams Sonoma Christmas catalogue is its own parallel universe, in which peppermint bark costs $59.99 and the words "Smeg Jousting Paladins Dolce & Gabanna refrigerator" actually make sense strung together. If the history of American Christmas gift-giving (and indeed aesthetics) were represented by a line, this would be on the opposite end from little Laura Ingalls being transported with delight by Santa's gifts of a tin cup, a candy cane and a penny...
