Cool find and I am glad it went to a serious collector. I would like to find the Montgomery Wards version and I will have all three units. I am guessing this is definitely the rarest one. The Sears being the most popular one at the time in 1977.
The printed text is random. Finding that is much rarer. And even the wards models don’t use the print text all the time. Jayden’s Montgomery Wards has the mold text in it. But we’ve seen Sears models with the printed text before during homesearching. It’s a much rarer sight to see it present, especially the Sears models.
I wonder if it was a quality control thing, where like maybe on the ones where the moulded text didn't come out right they instead stuck the stickers over top of it? Don't wanna destroy the sticker to find out but who knows what they did
Very nice that we are twinning! Except yours has the printed text which is quite interesting.

@@BAFVintage I’m sure you can feel it through the sticker while it’s still in place.
This isn't too bad of a find, but just like James said, it is possibly randomized as some have moulded text, while others have printed text
😮😮❤
When you mentioned JC Penny, I was certainly stunned. Thought they were just a typical lady store. 😂
Or maybe I have terrible hearing
@@Alarmo05221 nope, JCPenney did in fact rebrand and sell smoke detecrors
@@BAFVintagehow interesting
I just took down a Montgomery Ward 83-7 1650 00 with the Test Weekly molded into the cover. Are you interested in it?
@@rayschoeller956 yes I am! Pm me on my Instagram or Facebook linked in the description
Nice 43

Wtf mine has molded text
@@VintageCollections as James said it was probably randomized. Although I think my quality control theory is plausible but unlikely.
@@BAFVintage Stickers are probably newer, cheaped out
