Some brands chase trends.
Others become tradition.
For generations, Crosman has shown up at Christmas—not loudly, not briefly, but consistently. Long before online carts and digital wish lists, these ads lived on coffee tables, in magazines, and sometimes quietly “discovered” at just the right moment.
They weren’t just selling products.
They were shaping first experiences.
For many shooters, a Crosman was the first airgun they ever held. The first target they aimed at. The first lesson in patience, safety, and follow-through. Those moments didn’t start on a range—they started at home.
The ads below come from different eras, but they all point to the same truth: Crosman didn’t just belong to Christmas. It became part of it.

A gift meant to be used, not put away. Affordable, dependable, and designed for real shooting enjoyment.
“Put This Ad Where Your Wife Will Discover It”
A snapshot of its era
Language changes. Traditions endure. Beneath the vintage tone is a simple idea: a Crosman was a gift worth asking for—and worth giving.
Then. Now. Always.
Wish lists change.
Christmas mornings don’t.
For generations, Crosman has earned its place under the tree—and in the memories that come with it.
