S&M 1969-70 Toys & Hobbies Catalog

S&M 1969-70 Toys & Hobbies Catalog Cover
S&M was a toy wholesale operation out of Minneapolis MN that maintained a fairly large catalog with most brands represented. The Major Matt Mason section includes 4 pages with pretty much all the toys and playsets available for 1969. I'm not sure what the codes for each piece means - there are probably different discounts provided depending on the size of your order or some such. Note that some items are selected by red check marks or asterisks (probably the original catalog owner).

Paul's note:

The numbers starting with T will be S&M's own inventory numbers - they are consecutive numbers running over the pages which makes sense as a the order to publish them in this catalogue.

The next number is the manufacturer's stock number. (f ex #6330 for Capt Lazer).

List price will be the manufacturer's suggested retail price.

The final number is a mystery. Each particular price in dollars has the same number behind it (f ex all the Multiple Toymakers items are marked "List $1 - 7603 ea). So I would expect to see a list of those numbers somewhere else in this catalogue, or else as a supplement insert. Hopefully with a word of explanation about the system :)
