A 1960's Crosman Christmas

From 1949 to the late '60s, there were over 100 western series that aired on the networks. Before television, the nation saw westerns at movie theaters and listened to them over the radio.

Most every kid of this time wanted to emulate their cowboy hero's from TV and the big screen.

You alway here of the Red Ryder for Christmas, but at the time Crosman manufactured a co2 line of airguns that every 10 year old wanted. If you received one of these from Santa. You where the envy of all your friends. Saddle up partner and don't shoot your eye out.

Professor,
Very cool visit to Christmas past. With a five-kid family, had those guns only in my dreams, did score a Lone Ranger cap pistol and a Rifleman cap rifle. Played "Cowboys and Indians" with neighborhood friends all day in the woods behind our development, came in for supper, when it got dark. Was great growing up in the 60's. WM

Good stuff! My older bro got a 760 in '67. That's what started all this.

Growing up in the 60’s those shown in the video were way out of my family’s affordability. Pellets guns were just a dream to think about owning. The Red Ryder, for me, was as good as was possible.
