With old items somethings you can find interesting things.
I have a small grey snow blower from my Grandfather.
It needed a few small parts.
My Grandmother had a dusty old Sears catalog in her effects that showed it.
I thought I was being funny when I went to Sears and asked for the parts under the warranty.
1 month later they sent me every single part for free under the Craftsman lifetime warranty (this thing is easily 50 years old).
I get the impression that scene from "Indiana Jones..." with the Arc of The Covenant was filmed in a Sears warehouse...
