Catalog Trailer

I was perusing through a 1965 Montgomery Wards catalog when I came across this...

You could actually 'Order' a camping trailer from Montgomery Wards... (1965 catalog)
It did not list a Brand/Maker name...so I would guess MW would contract out with a trailer fabricator to make trailers... and maybe give it a name to be used by WM... kind of like Sears and Kenmore.
Which makes me wonder if that is why there are a lot of 'unknown' trailers out there.... as I have seen posts from people (on FaceBook) asking if anyone has any idea of the Brand/Maker of the trailer they are posting.
It seems a tad expensive but then again, that was 1965,,,
The catalog also sold 'Plans" for you to construct/build your own camping trailer.

Here we are, 2013, and catalogs have fallen by the way side and Montgomery Wards has fallen away completely.  Yep, times are changing....

Western Themed Trailer...

For those of you (and me) who have been amassing all kinds of Western deco items... I thought you would get a kick out of this...
I found these cool tumblers a month ago... the 'wrap' is black walnut wood skins with Brandings on the wood.

 Oh what I would give to score one of these "Cowpokes" chenille bedspreads... and notice the price? $5.77 for a Twin size spread... good luck finding one for that price now!

 awe to be young again...

 to play cowboy and cowgirl with your friends in the neighborhood...

 How fun it would be to have one of these outfits hanging on display in a trailer... to cute!

Oh So Many Ideas for Decorating a 1965 Trailer.

So as some of you recall, we Scored a wonderful 1965 Silver Streak trailer..
Well we decided to keep it in the theme of 1965 give or take a year...
I had such fun perusing through a 1964 Sears and 1965 Montgomery Wards catalogs.. to get ideas..

 let's see,,, we'll need a set of Melmac/Melmain dishes....

 we'll need a "train case' ....

oh and lets not forget some cool flooring...
oh to have some of these fun items... oh wait! I have a set of Melmac dishes and a train case... now to figure how to replicate the flooring with out breaking the bank! lol!
