Just found this website that has old sears (and other retailer) christmas catalogs / wish books.
http://www.wishbookweb.com/the-catalogs/
The oldest one goes back to 1937.
Lots of toys that I remember asking for, and a few that I actually got.
I remember getting this shooting gallery at the bottom/left of the page:

Ah, the SSP racers! These are the ones my brother and I both wanted, and got, for Christmas:
Erector Sets. I wanted a bigger kit every year.
