Crammed-full page of useless gadgetry and pranks
This 1919 Johnson, Smith and Company catalog page (thumbnail above, click below for the whole glory) represents a kind of nirvana composed of equal measures of high-tech conveniences, ridiculous prank gadgets, and dust-magnet tchotchkes, all crammed together so tight they leave no space for reflection or sober second thought. On days when Boing Boing really works, this is what it approaches.
