Best of Sunset House '64 (Part Two)

Our last post featured highlights from the black and white pages of Sunset House's gift catalog from 1964, now with today's Part Two post we give you some gems from the color pages. You have to admire SH for even attempting to sell some of this stuff, for example: naming a pair of crummy rayon shoes "Harem Lounging Boots" to make them sound more "exotic", or screwing 6 lightbulbs into a black box and calling it "Mystery Blinking Lights" (and don't forget to add Tippy Hedren into the illustration too, you know, to cash in on Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds from the previous year?!! Even the description of this item is hilariously insulting.) And don't get me started on the cheaptastical "Rocky Roller!"
