That might sound like spam but check out this website. It has Christmas wishbook catalogs broken down into individual pages. I saw the Sears Screamer 2 bicycle I still have in the 1969 Sears wishbook and it was about $69 back then!
I was 12 and boy did that seem expensive! Unfortunately, mine no longer has the same seat Sad

Wow, talk about "Sherman, set the Wayback Machine."  I saw many toys my brother and I had as kids in the 70s.  Thanks for the link!

      Great site. Amazing to see pricing.
      Major appliances average $300 to $400 each, same as today.

Rock em sock em robots only $8.00 back in 1970. 

What GI Joes did you have the plastic hair or the mini fros?  I was in the era that saw both. laugh

These are cool. I see a Dragnet pedal car I'm putting on my wish list for Santa. I have my dad's Lionel set from when he was a kid. I'm looking for that in the catalog.
Almost $90 for an electric typewriter in 1955...was pricey!

Great site--thanks for posting.  I remember thumbing through that 1970 JC Penny catalog when it first came out.
