Another wonderful pic from the 1972 Sears Catalog.  If you were a kid in the 70’s you had something like this.  Odds of keeping the antennae unbroken – 10,000 to 1.  This pic has 70’s all over it… the space program, a spy, a pair of walkie-talkies, and the not-so-subtle reference that girls can use it, too, as long as they’re not playing directly with the boys.  Cause girls should be playing with dolls, or something.

Can anyone tell me what the storyline with the astronaut, the spy, and the 70’s boy might be?  And sending a signal a mile?  You’d be lucky if it made it two back yards away.
