1976 Argos catalogue

Some awesome stuff in there (especially the camera section)! It also made me think of the ‘nan’s house’ thread – I forgot about the hood hairdryers! And if anyone wants an idea of the hideous ornaments I mentioned, see the Cape di Monte ornament section. It’s got the old people, porcelain roses AND the horse and cart ornament!

Those Sandoz watches were over £100 in the 70s?!? 😯

Mind you, I could probably do with one now.

OMG!!

cheeky bikini! and under those bikes there are guns!!! in the argos catalogue!!!

Classic, now if i could see the Kays catalogue lingerie pages again….

You can still get guns – but now they KILL stuff

Ah, you didn’t mean the toy guns! The BBs and the air pistol! £3.75 😯

Gat guns 😀

Many green plastic soldiers met their end to a 7 year old with a gat gun. Then we discovered spray-cans and lighters. Even more fun.

Oh yeah 8)

Super Flight Deck!

I got it for Christmas, and it was missing the boom that the aeroplane hung from 🙁

It has scarred me.

Anybody spot Hugh Porter?

Superb

Page 52…I had the Bionic Man, his Transporter and, at the bottom of that page, the Prairie Rocket train set 😀

…although it seems a bit odd as I would only have been 2 years old in 1976…guess I got them a few years later secondhand 😕

Anybody remember Geeen Shield stamps? I remember sticking the stamps into the book for dad and loved the idea of getting stuff without paying for it. The catalogue was amazing…. always wanted a watch but never got one 🙁
