BELTS: A Novelty Belt from the 1960s.





Today I was given a mail-order catalog from 1966: John Plain, which has been in business since 1915.


It's a large catalog with items across the board, much like the Sears and Penney's Catalogs:


-Fashion

-Footwear

-Jewelry

-Household

-Small Appliances

-Toys

-Etc.


I came across a great novelty Belt; Its called the "Big Timer," with an adjustable chain that converts into a necklace. The Watch is a large 4 inches in diameter.
