Can you guess how much these items cost in 1966?

Clothing at Sears cost a lot less 50 years ago.

Everyone remembers what it was like to go shopping as a kid. Hours upon hours of walking around department stores, trying on clothes and waiting for your parents to make up their minds. 

While we all remember the experience, do we remember the prices? Here are some items from the Sears summer catalog in 1966. Can you guess how much each item cost? The price better be right!

Shipping and handling not included. Good luck!

You got 8 out of 12 correct
Not bad (Especially when you take into account that June 25, 1966 I was only 18 months old), but maybe you should keep a closer eye on the best bargains next time you go shopping.

All guesses 75% correct.
