Greetings, I live in a Sears Vallonia outside of Portland, Maine with
all of the original wood work and an unmodified floor plan. My wife
and I were in New York this past weekend to see a show on contemporary
pre-fab houses at The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). As we separated
briefly to look at different sections of the show I gravitated to the
history of pre-fabs. You can well guess where this is leading. One of
the catalogs on display was a Sears Honor Bilt catalog with the
Vallonia on the cover. We have lived in this house for seven years and
I've done some research about the Sears homes but I had never run
across a catalog with "our" house on the cover. My wife was delighted
to see it.

I have two questions. Do you know what year this particular catalog
was mailed and do you have a disc of this particular one?
((Or...if you have an original catalog you'd like to part with...)

Thanks for any help you may offer,

J. P.

Anyone know which catalog it was? I can't seem to find the info anywhere.
